SALE FOR 1 RING-CHOOSE BETWEEN A SIZE 14 (PHOTOS 1 THROUGH 11) OR THE SIZE 14.5! (PHOTOS 12 THROUGH 16)

THE RING:

Using the cuts shape that then dictated the face's shape of the ring, Cooper kept close to his Navajo roots & made these with a very traditional look that’s known to Navajo jewelry. The stones on both rings are set in a shallow shadowbox setting, where the bezel is separated from the outer sterling perimeter on the face of the ring. On the size 14,the perimeter of the face has a uniform chiseled design that follows the shape of the stone, (See photos 3 & 5) where as on the 14.5 ring, the perimeter of the face has both saw work & chiseled work. Chose for both, are an incredible color of Campitos turquoise that you rarely see in the industry!

The shank is unique for the fact that it is oxidized/textured on the very bottom, then overlaid with smooth high polished ½ square sterling wire on the top/bottom perimeter, which adds a tad of weight to the ring, as well as spicing up the design!

*******************
A NOTE:
This is one of 12 rings that Cooper made for me that come in large, to hard to find XL & XXL sizes! (See last photo) And It's for these "hard to find" large sizes, is the reason why I couldn't have asked any better artist that specializes in men's rings than Cooper, to make them! Men with large fingers know how hard it is to find a ring that fits, with many time's being forced to get one custom made! So whether you're a Football player, truck driver, construction worker or a man who just has large fingers & would love to wear a dynamite turquoise ring with a true masculine edginess, Ihave them in stock ,including "Off the Charts" XXL sizes 16-1/2!! (or greater!!!)

ABOUT THE ARTIST:
33 year old Cooper was born, raised & is presently residing on the Navajo reservation in the town of To’hajiilee,(Toe-hah-jah-lee) NM, which is just west of Albuquerque. Cooper was blessed to be born into a large family who are rich in Navajo tradition & who are all jeweler's who've made a name for themselves in the jewelry industry. .Cooper's the son of Lonnie Willie (Lonnie’s the brother to Ronnie Willie) & the brother to Tawney Willie & learned to make traditional Navajo jewelry from his father Lonnie ,who happens to be the one who taught all the family, including Ronnie, as well as his own parents.(All these names, plus more of the family can be found in my listings (Under “Women’s Jewelry”) in almost every category.)

Like Lonnie did with Tawney,he started Cooper out by having him work with copper,so if there were any mistakes,it wouldn't be at such a costly price..He then taught him stampwork by having him practice with nickel silver.Cooper has taken what he's learned from Lonnie by putting to good use all those valuable techniques, while developing his own style & while doing it in his own way.

Having mathematical & analytical characteristics forces him to be the 'perfectionist' he is & one thing you'll never find him making is "mediocre jewelry". No matter the price or the size,he wouldn't dare make anything less than the best..This is an artist who is gifted with an excellent "attention to detail" eye that are spot on & impeccable! His lines are clean & precise & everything has to be in perfect balance & very uniform!

His specialty is doing heavy gauge Men’s jewelry, with the focus on extremely masculine men's rings,He's a "Manly-Man's" artist & is highly sought out by men because of this.
