Ring: Marita Benally Nevada Turquoise
Ring: Marita Benally Nevada Turquoise
A weighty sterling ring with beautifully layered metalwork by the highly collectable Diné (Navajo) artist Marita Benally. The Nevada turquoise in this piece is so good, but could be overlooked because of all of the design elements incorporated into the silver work. It is a split design that takes a moment to sink in, which then enables the stone to pop. The turquoise is complex and has an electric aqua tone with black matrix running through it. Think pacific island water with volcanic black. It is be gorgeous.
