DESCRIPTION:
Excellent craftsmanship is shown throughout this amazing ring! This piece of Native American jewelry is Navajo hand crafted by artist Isabell Yazzie, out of genuine sterling silver and a man made Opal stone. The stone is gently set in a hand cut bezel setting, while hand crafted silverwork, and mini silver beads accent the ring for a wonderful finish. The ring is stamped sterling.
Most people know Opal for its distinctive play of color, it is a semi-transparent solidified mineral composed of silicon and water, and it gets its name from the Latin word "Oplus" meaning precious stone. Opal is the birthstone for October. It is believed to release self-consciousness allowing spontaneous action, and awakens psychic and mystical qualities.
