This exceptional tufa cast ring by acclaimed Navajo artist Darryl Dean Begay showcases a bold balance of structure and symbolism. At its center sits a square cut gem grade natural Bisbee turquoise gemstone, prized for its rich translucent blue color and distinctive matrix, set within a hand chiseled solid 18 Karat gold bezel that adds warmth and striking contrast to the silver. Highly prized as one of the most rare and collectible types of turquoise, the cabochon is a superb representation of the finest quality from the mine.
The shank of the piece features finely carved arrow designs, each accented with sky blue natural Lone Mountain turquoise stones that bring brightness and movement to the composition. The combination of traditional tufa casting, precise chisel work, and mixed metals highlights the artist’s mastery and attention to detail.
Strong, sculptural, and deeply rooted in Navajo design tradition, this ring is both a statement piece and a collectible work of wearable art.
Ring Size: 10-1/2 Stone Size: 1/2 in. x 3/8 in. This piece can be re-sized upon request for an additional $35.00 fee.
