Known for his incredible work in sterling,this traditional Navajo ring is made by Leander Tahe. What I love about his work is his precision & attention to detail, where you never have to question how long he's been at it,because you will be able to see the years he has behind him & what separates him from beginners...

Made in a concho style,one thing that's obvious is that his stampwork & repousse work shows that this is an artist who knows the ropes of metalsmithing! His repousse work in this is highly impressive since this is an artform that takes skill & know how, since repousse is done from the backside of the metal to give lift to the design on the front.Any little mistake can knock the whole design off track. And if you put aside the pretty cuts of Italian Coral that line the center & the statement size it has,it is the repousse work that really kicks this design in!

Given a "Chiaroscuro" look,Leander left the oxidation deep in the crevices, while anywhere there's lift is brighter so it helps to accentuate the design..It screams "Navajo" in style & tradition & has a slight dome to it, so it's made to wrap atop of your finger comfortably. It's made is a lighter gauge sterling,so it's not too heavy!

This will pair wonderfully with any of your other traditional oxidized Navajo jewelry! Adjustable shank.(See photo 8)
