ABOUT DELBERT:
Delbert's work demands a higher price than most & it's pretty obvious why.Considered a veteran "Master Navajo Artist" that has been at this now for decades & is the artist that has taught & helped pave the careers for many of today's traditional Navajo Gallup jewelers that you find on the market..Delbert is the 'go-to" guy & the one other silversmith's look up to when they need technique/inspiration.

Delbert's work is beyond extraordinary & stays true to his Navajo roots by staying undeniably,traditional.He is 'old school'for the fact that each & everything that goes into his intricate metal work is completely hand fabricated.

Jewelers that started back in the era he had,it was important to use only natural,premium stones for their jewelry & with so many mines now closed down,it's hard for someone who came out of that era to settle for anything less,especially when you have your name on it!
Delbert 1st hand picks his stones & then lets the stone dictate the design..He never knows what he is going to make until the stone starts to 'speak' to him & then builds around it with the heavy gauge sterling & incorporating the most incredible ornate,embellished work.
*******************
It's masculine,attractive & an extremely well made ring,that you will get no less than, when you have a ring made by Delbert..Being a man himself,he instinctively knows what men love & how a masculine ring should look!

It is made in a very traditional Navajo style & is made with, one of 2 of the 'most hottest & in demand' turquoise that is out on today's market.(The other is Kazakhstan-Golden Hills) Sonoran Gold is the " name for the "premium turquoise" stock that comes out of the Campitos mine in northern Mexico..Similar to our Royston turquoise in the way that the colors are produced,with colors of all blue,all green & then you get these wonderful formations of the 2 colors running together,just like Royston..It offers a wide variety of matrix colored patterns as well.

The deep green stone sits in it's own serrated bezel & sits on a wide shank on the top & has a narrow taper on the underside.Circular twisted wire & a round concho act as an embellishment & gives design to the ring..Stamped design sits below the embellishing.

It has a good weight & feels nice & solid,just like men like!
