A large oval sun burst inlaid multi-stone silver ring.   The ring has a very intricately cut inlaid pattern that has a true Navajo structure to it.  It is comprised of a number of hand cut pieces of Mother of Pearl, Turquoise, Onyx, and coral.  All pieced together, they combine to make this stunning abstract geometric pattern.  It can be worn either way to face the wearer spending on the mood of the wearer.  

The design is that of the Navajo Native American tribe, and was made by a jeweller from this tribe.  The Navajo tribe, now located in occupying portions of northeastern Arizona, southeastern Utah, and northwestern New Mexico, was the first Native American group to learn Mexican silversmithing techniques. Navajo artist Atsidi Chon then taught the art to a member of the Zuni tribe.

This is an example of the Navajo 'cluster work' technique, characterized by a series of shaped stones set into various bezel settings. This 'cluster work' later evolved into the more intricate petit point and needlepoint styles.  A variety of bold and colourful stones are cemented into channels created by soldering pieces of silver to a backing plate. The stones are then polished flat, resulting in multicolored designs with  veins of silver running through them.  

The ring is unsigned.  A very talented and skilled artist.  The ring is a size 10.5.  This ring can be sized to any required size.
