Navajo Artisan-LINDA YAZZIE-Green Teal Colored-Sonoran Turquoise Cross Ring with Red Spiny Oyster Accents-Size 8-3/4
Navajo Artisan-LINDA YAZZIE-Green Teal Colored-Sonoran Turquoise Cross Ring with Red Spiny Oyster Accents-Size 8-3/4
THE ARTIST:
Designed with a traditional look, this cluster ring is made by the hands of well known Navajo artist, "Linda Yazzie. Linda is a New Mexico resident who has been designing jewelry now for 35+ years & what you'll find in her work, is for her excellent eye for form & balance & her precise workmanship.
Designed in a cross theme, this is made with Sonoran turquoise that has unique character.. I would call the color more on the 'minty green teal' side , (As opposed to blue teal) but the stones have these darker lines that run within, which give each stone contrast. Acting as an accent are 4 little round cuts of red Spiny Oyster shell.Sterling beads are placed between each stone. The face of the ring sits on a tri-split' sterling shank.

Please Note:
*****I do not consider myself a 'professional photographer" but I do try to give you photos that are 'realistic" in color,just so you're not shocked, nor disappointed when you get the piece. I find photographing anything with 'yellow' in it, (For example: orange, green) can come up a little more vivid,so please take this into consideration.
In order to show all the fine detail, close up photos tend to make the item look much more larger & everything is more magnified than in actuality. Close up's make the item look so large & then you get it in hand & you are shocked since the item is much smaller than how they looked in the photos..So to get an accurate idea of how big this is, are,please zoom in on the photos showing it on the finger or you can pull out a tape measure & compare to my given measurements
