ABOUT THE ARTIST:

Bobby Johnson is from Church Rock, New Mexico in the heart of the Navajo reservation.. He was born in the summer of 1952 and is native Navajo. He began to silversmith in the early 70’s, learning from his family. Bobby is looked up to by his brothers and sisters, who are all expert silversmiths themselves.Coming up in this time when quality natural turquoise was more available,it's hard for people like Bobby who came out of that era,to use anything less than the best turquoise there is in today's market. His love for silver and turquoise led him to choose this as his life time path and can proudly say he is a proud silversmith!

DESCRIPTION:

Overly massive & made with a authentic Navajo look, this ring is so large that a pilot can probably see it from the air! It is made with all the look Santa Fe & is designed with a ultra bold, statement style appearance!! There is absolutely nothing dainty about this & that is the beauty of it!!

Bobby hand picked some of the finest Royston turquoise there is & is more of a "Forest green" in color. The large center stone has caramel colored golden matrix,which give this it's "One of a Kind" character. Statement is actually an understatement wit this one! A cluster of evenly sized 10 mm ovals frame the center & help to give it uniform the look it has .The rocks are bezel set atop of a matte finished sterling,so there will be no need to polish!!

This is a super weighty ring & there is just about as much weight from the sterling as there is in the amount & size of the turquoise!!

If you haven't added green turquoise to your collection yet, then this ring will spoil you when it comes to color!!

PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING:

*****I do not consider myself a 'professional photographer" but I do try to give you photos that are 'realistic" in color, so you're not shocked, nor disappointed when you get the piece. I do however find that photographing anything with 'yellow' in it, (green & orange) harder to photograph for accuracy, since this color can come up much more vivid than other colors,so please take this into consideration & go through all photos to see any variation. Remember, every monitor is different since some can show something to be more vivid and other monitors can make it look duller.
