A spectacular example of traditional Zuni needlepoint artistry by Vincent and Socorro Johnson, this striking statement ring features an elaborate arrangement of beautifully shaped turquoise stones and intricate silverwork.
The elongated oval design showcases dozens of slender, individually set turquoise needlepoint stones, radiating outward in a dramatic sunburst formation. Each delicate turquoise stone is finished with a rounded silver drop, creating a wonderfully textured, dimensional border.
At the center, gracefully flowing twisted silver ropework forms an elegant figure-eight design, accented with additional turquoise needlepoint stones and polished silver drops. The rich blue turquoise contrasts beautifully against the darkened silver background, highlighting the precision and artistry of the intricate composition.
The ring's substantial, elongated silhouette creates an impressive visual statement while beautifully demonstrating the meticulous stone-cutting and silversmithing techniques for which Zuni jewelry is celebrated.
A wonderful example of the distinctive needlepoint designs associated with Vincent and Socorro Johnson, this ring combines traditional craftsmanship with bold Southwestern elegance.
