Navajo Turquoise Ring by Gibson Nez

Gibson Nez (1947 – 2007) was a prominent multi award winning Jicarilla Apache/Navajo jeweler. He took pride in doing excellent work, evidenced by his many awards and the high esteem in which he was held by his peers and patrons. This ring came from a large Los Angeles collection which was put together over many years so while we can’t say exactly when it was made we can reasonably estimate it was made in the last quarter of the 20th century. It is a large beautiful statement piece both refined and elegant.
