There is nothing at all average about this beautiful ring! This piece of Native American jewelry is Zuni hand crafted by artist Phillis Lucid, out of genuine sterling silver and real Turquoise inlay. The inlay is delicately set, while thin silver lines, twisted silver, and silver designs can be seen accenting the ring for a beautiful look. The ring is stamped sterling, Zuni, and hallmarked by the artist.
Turquoise is the birthstone of December. It is believed that turquoise tends to bring good fortune, strength and helps overcome illness. Turquoise got its name from the Levantine traders called Turks who brought the stone to Europe from Persia via Turkey centuries ago. Native Americans have prized turquoise since the time of the Aztecs, who mined it in New Mexico. The natural variations that occur in turquoise are part of its appeal and beauty.
