1970s Native American Zuni artist-signed sterling bypass ring inlaid with turquoise, opals, and onyx. Sky-blue turquoise stones flank bands of fire opal and onyx, with thin silver bands in between the stones. On the flanks on both sides are three incised lines. The workmanship here is extraordinary; the stones match beautifully, and the precision of the inlay is perfectly smooth and precise. The opals provide a burst of fiery color between the turquoise and onyx stones. A consummate example of the Zuni art of inlay. Signed "Sterling" and "FL" (most likely Fred Natuchu). Size 7.
