One thing that always impresses me with Ronald's work is, the precision each of his pieces have..His hands are skilled & you will notice this with each piece he makes with one goal only..And that is the piece is made Perfect..Ronald doesn't step out of the box, no matter how many years go by,but stays very true to his Pueblo roots.
These are made in a traditional Pueblo 'slab' style & are one of the oldest forms of Pueblo jewelry that were known to the Anasazi people..They are made with yellow sponge coral, which you don't see too often in Pueblo jewelry,but has this very earthy yellow/orangy/brown color.On the sides are an array of materials known to Pueblo jewelry,with each & every cut being hand cut by Ronald, who then mosaic inlays along the side in a ladder form.
Perfect for the person who loves Pueblo jewelry but loves to keep it simple & light,while still having a traditional Pueblo style!
