A large gem grade natural black web Kingman turquoise has been chosen to set atop this gorgeous ring. The cabochon represents the very finest quality from the mine and is a marvelous deep blue with incredibly fine pin point black spiderweb matrix. This quality is seldom encountered due to the complexity of the webbing and depth of hue. The stone is encircled by a hand chiseled bezel, perfectly filed and cut. The shank is the ideal compliment to the beauty of the cabochon as well and is created out of two pieces of sterling silver. One piece has precisely cut petroglyph designs and is overlaid on to the second that is etched and oxidized to create the eye-dazzling effect. The finished ring wears beautifully on the hand and is highly collectible.

This marvelous belt buckle was hand made by Navajo artist Kee Yazzie. The piece was created by overlaying dozens of finely cut petroglyphs on a heavy sterling silver bottom plate. The symbols of the piece include the bear for protection and guidance, hands for healing, water designs, tadpoles and turtle. The buckle is finished by setting an exceptional rare gem grade natural Bisbee turquoise cabochon in a fine hand chiseled bezel. The gem is the finest quality produced at the mine with a translucent hue of deep blue and vibrant reddish-brown swirls of matrix.

Navajo silversmith Kee Yazzie has created this magnificent Anasazi influenced bracelet with complex petroglyph overlay designs. The top of the bracelet is covered with wonderful symbols representing healing, protection and prosperity. The designs include the moon and stars, water, tadpoles, hands, bears and crosses overlayed against a deeply textured background. The underside of the piece shows dragonflies whirling across the rock face with mountains in the foreground. The piece is finished with two spectacular rare gem grade natural Candelaria turquoise cabochons at each end set in expertly cut bezels. The cabochons feature a deep blue hue with reddish brown matrix.
