Native American Amy Quandelacy Zuni Turquoise Sterling Silver Ring Size N g

Beautiful, handmade, Native American Zuni, Hummingbird ring by esteemed jewellery artist Amy Quandelacy. The sterling silver and fine inlaid Sleeping beauty turquoise showcases Amy's skill in her silversmithing work perfectly. The ring design is just stunning and each gemstone has been shaped with a great degree of skill to fit into the sterling silver setting flawlessly. The stones are slightly raised to add to the allure of the ring. Stamped with Amy to the underside of the ring, the ring also tests as sterling silver.

Amy is an inter-tribal ceremonial winner and master artist within the Zuni Pueblo in New Mexico. In particular Amy's Hummingbird designs are instantly recognisable and showcase her understanding of the importance of design aesthetics. The bright blue turquoise is mined near Arizona and it is known for its solid blue colour with little matrix. This type of Sleeping beauty turquoise is a popular choice for Zuni silversmiths to use in petite point, needlepoint and inlay work as it has such a vibrant and consistent colour.
