Description
This is a style usually attributed to Zuni Pueblo artisans. However, plenty of Navajo do excellent cluster work as evidenced above. This ring has 17 Sleeping Beauty turquoise stones with a little iron-ore matrix in each one. Weight is .6-ounces, measurements are 1.75 and 1and 1/8th-inches at its longest and widest. Ring size is 8.5. Hallmarked, "JMW," which is Justin Wilson, Jr., who specializes in exquisite cluster work. This ring actually came out of a trading post pawn vault but it appears as if it has never been worn.
