And the turquoise kept on growing and growing.. The turquoise had so much power, it was so strong, it could not be stopped, even by the Chavez. And, with a lot of respect, the Chavez family carved the stone which grew to exceed the expectations of a ring to become a fantastic symbol of Turquoise spirit. Here it is, untamed, 4 1/4″ long and 2 5/8″ wide green Turquoise, with some sterling silver around, some shanks in the back to allow you to put it on your finger and cover your hand. The Chavez family just made another exploit.. This NAVAJO family has been making jewelry for generations and generations.. Gloria Chavez, the matriarchal figure of the family, has been maintaining the high quality of work all throughout the years. Her sons, with Gloria’s eyes, make incredible jewelry, traditional pieces, with a unique style. Their jewelry is INIMITABLE. Only them could foresee a piece so big. They made some traditional sterling silver work, with the right accent to mark the grandeur of the Turquoise. On each side of the stone a perfect double twisted rope. At each end three rosettes and hand made sterling beads. The turquoise is flawless, no cracks. It is green with some light tone variations. It is a very airy paisley flying along the borders of the Turquoise, in some areas… Disappearing, letting the green mist settle, with the spots of tan matrix coming… The ring is 4 3/4 long. It is 2 7/8 wide. It WEIGHS 125 grams. SIGNED by the artists THE CHAVEZ FAMILY, C. The item “CHAVEZ AWESOME INSANELY HUGE TURQUOISE RING. 125 grams!
