About The Fetching Blue Gem Men's Ring

Turquoise with matrix is female for prosperity/ fruitfulness. The almost butterfly concho shape of the frame around the setting is open work. The butterfly is a happy symbol of resurrection--metamorphosis. You will never see another ring with this detail and design, especially with an open work top. It is extremely rare--not a production piece by any means.

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.
