Red rug pattern ring - SR 2375

Navajo handcrafted inlay ring by artist James Lee. Set in solid sterling silver, this ring features a beautiful southwest inspired rug pattern. The hand cut stones area carefully inlayed. The design measures a little over an 1" and tapers from 1/2" to 1/4". Light weight and easy to wear. Very detailed design. NAVAJO HANDCRAFTED RING BY ARTIST JAMES LEE tones: The Black you see in the design is called "JET "and is actually a fossilized wood, which has been compressed over millions of years. Multiple pieces of stone make up the mosaic image. The Brown is made up of Picture Jasper, the blue is turquoise, the red is red spiny oyster shell and the red iridescent rectangular shapes are made from Cultured Opal. Story: The Design in both rings is directly reflective of a Navajo Rug pattern called a "Storm Pattern". The middle apposing triangles are the "eye" of the storm, and the black steps represent storm clouds. Designs and or patterns showing storm clouds, whirl winds and or rain are common with the Navajo People as water is such a vital part of their life
