Description
Created by Navajo artist Philander Begay, this distinctive ring is hand carved in tufa stone and cast in heavy gauge sterling silver using the traditional tufa casting technique. The process preserves the natural texture and character of the original carving, giving the piece a raw, sculptural quality that highlights its handmade one of a kind nature.
The design features a striking spider motif brought to life through Phil’s exceptional artistry. Rich in visual symbolism and executed with remarkable attention to detail, the spider emerges from the textured silver surface with a bold presence, showcasing the organic beauty that defines fine tufa cast jewelry.
At the center of the design, the spider’s body is inlaid with a vibrant high grade natural Bisbee turquoise gemstone. Renowned among collectors for its rich color and distinctive character, Bisbee turquoise provides a vivid focal point that contrasts beautifully against the textured silver. The natural beauty of the stone enhances the sculptural form while adding depth, color, and visual intrigue.
The combination of traditional tufa casting, symbolic imagery, and premium turquoise results in a ring that is both artistic and highly individual. Reflecting Philander Begay’s unique creative vision and mastery of his craft, this remarkable piece stands as a compelling example of contemporary Navajo jewelry and wearable art.
Ring Size: 8Â Stone Size: 3/16 in. x 3/16 in. Ring Face Length: 1 in. This piece can be re-sized upon request for an additional $35.00 fee.

This beautiful piece created by Navajo artist Lee Charley features an amazing tufa cast dragonfly with a gorgeous high grade Royston turquoise stone and five stunning deep red gem grade Mediterranean coral cabochons all set to outline the body of the creature. The Royston turquoise in this piece is a stunning deep blue-green with a hint of dark reddish-brown matrix. Tufa casting is an ancient process where the artist carves a particular design into a tufa or sandstone pours molten silver into it therefore yielding a one of a kind item. This process can only be used two to three times before the design is destroyed by the molten material. This is a much more labor intensive process than conventional investment casting which produces an infinite number of identical images.
