Sterling silver ingot was used to fabricate the nine compartment channeled and curved rectangular face of the ring, as well as its handsomely tapered shank. Rain drops of smelted silver decorate both ends of this face as well as on either side where the shank meets it.
Nine very choice pieces of highest grade natural deep blue Morenci mine turquoise were precision hand cut and flush inlaid to follow the curve of their containment. Each stone measures 5/16" X 1/4" and was carefully chosen for its specimen aesthetic display.

Description | This unknown artist has strength of imagination equaled by the skill to bring thought to reality on a rare level. The "turquoise" window created is like gazing upon a young evening sky. A newly risen moon is only visible by the light with which it traces the cloud forms hiding all but a few persistent stars. |
