ABOUT THE ARTIST:
There's a certain look that is found with the jewelry that comes out of the Gallup area & you can definitely see this geographical' s influence in Tyler's work. Now 32 years old & producing some of the hottest looking Navajo jewelry in today's market where he's built a name for himself that is now in high demand, Tyler could not escape the art of jewelry making since he happens to be the son of the late Navajo artist, "DEAN BROWN".. Dean taught the young Tyler the art of making traditional Navajo jewelry where he taught him 1st with earrings where he had him working with super light gauge 32 gauge sterling, so if there were many mistakes(Which there were!) it wouldn't be too, too costly.
Tyler comes from a long list of well known Navajo artists with just a few of his uncles being Hemerson Brown, Anthony Skeets & Lee Charley. His cousin is Mathew Charley & the late KIRK SMITH was a 2nd uncle.. He LOVES working with vivid colored materials & is always working on trying to come up with new ways to create different style cluster pieces, which are another favorite style that he loves making!

THE RING:
This ring is made to be big enough so there's no chance, that it gets overlooked! There is absolutely nothing dainty about it & is definitely super sized for those of you who love your rings to be on the huge-statement & highly noticeable side!
The shell oozes a color that could look red to some, while to others can look like red/orange.. The massively large center cut is just shy of 2" & then flawlessly sharing the spotlight, are 26 evenly matched little 4.5 mm round cuts that surround it.
Made with an adjustable shank, the ring is presently set at a size 9 & would make an excellent middle or pointer finger ring because of it's size. If you need it a little larger, I can go up a 1/2 to 1-1/2 sizes for you, but I prefer you take it to your reputable jeweler to go down in size, if needed.
