This ring is a Navajo classic! This piece of Native American jewelry is Navajo hand crafted by artist Lee Shorty, out of authentic sterling silver and man made Opal. The stone is delicately placed in hand cut bezel settings, while hand crafted silver work creates stunning leaf designs. Mini silver beads also highlight the ring for a wonderful finish.
Most people know Opal for its distinctive play of color, it is a semi-transparent solidified mineral composed of silicon and water, and it gets its name from the Latin word "Oplus" meaning precious stone. Opal is birthstone of October. It is believed to release self-consciousness allowing spontaneous action, and awakens psychic and mystical qualities.
