Sterling Silver Stop Light Ring with Blue Gem Turquoise

Navajo

About The Sterling Silver Stop Light Ring with Blue Gem Turquoise

Hand-crank mill rolled sheet and drawn wire, from sterling silver ingot, were used to fabricate the elegant body of this ring. 

The tri-split shank is evenly cut and filed, as is the geometric open work supporting and framing the vertical row of three bezel set stones.  Natural Blue Gem mine turquoise pieces, of classic sky hue (one with a spot of golden matrix) were hand cut and satin polished to form three well matched low dome oval cabochons.  These stones are approximately 5/16" X 7/32".  Hammer flattened wire bars border the ring face, covering the solder joining of shank to back plate edge while providing a clean decorative finish.
