A serious turquoise statement piece.
Handmade by Navajo silversmith Mary A. Benally, this oversized sterling silver cluster ring features dozens of individual Kingman turquoise stones arranged in a dimensional oval design. Graduated teardrop-shaped stones radiate through layers of twisted silver wirework, creating a substantial ring that nearly covers the top of the hand.
The Kingman turquoise ranges from bright sky blue to stones with natural brown matrix, giving every section of the cluster its own character. Oxidized silver detailing creates contrast around the individual stones and highlights the intricate handmade construction.
The reverse is artist signed MAB and stamped STERLING.
