This is a very exquisite ring that must not be overlooked! This piece of Native American jewelry is Navajo hand crafted, by artist Benjamin Martinez, out of authentic sterling silver and a real Turquoise stone.

The ring is stamped sterling.
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.
