Its forged ingot shank is three way cut and split. It is decorated with stamping to form a foundation for seventeen (17) handcut blue green turquoise stones (oval, pear and round in shape).Each bezel is surrounded by a fine rope twist creating an overall effect that is sold and quite handsome.
- About Navajo
- The Navajo were the first of the Native Americans of the Southwest to learn silversmithing from the Spanish. Most Navajo jewelry emphasizes silver, with turquoise stones used as an accent. Some pieces are cast in sand or tufa molds, while others are hammered, using a male stamp and a female die.
