Vintage Southwestern Inlay Ring Size 8 Brown Tigers Eye Picture Jasper Onyx 925 Sterling Silver Geometric Band

Description

Celebrating the enduring artistry of Southwestern Native American lapidary traditions, this vintage sterling silver ring showcases an intricate geometric channel inlay. During the mid to late 20th century, Navajo and Southwestern artisans elevated stone inlay into modern wearable art, combining traditional metalsmithing with bold architectural motifs and warm earth tones. This striking statement piece features hand-cut sections of chatoyant golden tiger's eye, warm desert picture jasper, and sleek black onyx, precisely set between fine sterling silver channels in an asymmetrical stepped tablet silhouette. The ring weighs 4.4 grams, measures a comfortable US size 8, and is stamped VB Sterling on the reverse, a maker's mark associated with Navajo lapidary craftsmanship. Its tapered solid silver shank provides an ergonomic fit suitable for everyday wear.
