DESCRIPTION:
Expect plenty of compliments while wearing this stunning ring! This piece of Native American jewelry is Navajo overlay hand crafted by artist Calvin Peterson out of authentic sterling silver. Overlay is a process that utilizes at least two layers of sterling silver. One layer forms the foundation, while the second is used to design the individual detailed overlay. In this ring, the second layer forms a gorgeous bear and water wave design for a charming look. The ring is stamped sterling and hallmarked by the artist.
In Native American beliefs, the bear symbolizes physical strength, leadership, and is known as the "first helper". The water waves design represents continuous life.
