Butterflies are nature's angels.They remind us what a gift it is to be alive. -Robyn Nola
THE RING:
This beautifully made statement size butterfly ring is precisely designed where the wings are made of a creamy mint green color of Nevada Carico Lake turquoise & it's abdomen,eyes & the antennas are mosaic inlaid with Carico Lake turquoise,Orange Spiny Oyster shell & black Onyx. This style of mosaic work is done in a Zuni Pueblo style of inlay, with each cut fitting precisely next to the other!!
The butterfly is made where the wings started out from a larger slab of rock & then one by one they are gracefully chiseled, smoothed & then beautifully beveled with their soft scalloped edges. The colors work wonderfully together,with just enough orange & black in the design to make it stand out!
The ring is not over,over the top large, but definitely is wide enough to get some attention! It's truly a work of art & shows the exquisite lapidary skills it took to make.If you love artisan made jewelrythat is solely made by hand, you will love this!
The shanks are adjustable & their present sizes are listed.If you need me to go up on any one of them for you,let me know.I am not as good going down in size,so I will leave that to the buyer.
I have the full suite that consists of a rings, earrings, link bracelets, cuff bracelets & necklace. (See photos 2-3-9-10) They make a dynamite set that are stunning when worn together! Keep checking back since all are not listed yet. They are/will be in their appropriate categories
