Steve Arviso Navajo Designer Vintage Ring with Turquoise and Coral Stones. This is a one-of-a-kind vintage ring by Navajo jewelry designer Steve Arviso.

Navajo silversmith Steve Arviso creates jewelry inspired by old Navajo styles with an emphasis on the natural beauty of the stone. He does not believe in forcing his turquoise to become anything other than what it chooses to be. “When I get a piece of turquoise,” he explains, “I don’t instantly know what I’m going to make… out of 20, 30 stones, only one turquoise will speak to me.” Rather than an artist, Arviso considers himself more of a creator, blowing life into the jewelry.

Minor flaws are to be expected from a “vintage” item, as in most cases the item has been used and loved.
Please refer to all pictures, for they are an important part of the description. I try my best to take close-up pictures, that actually exaggerate wear or flaws.
