RARE Vintage Navajo Tommy Jackson Sterling Silver Sand Cast Gem Grade Lapis Ring
This listing features a rare vintage sterling silver and lapis ring, made by renowned Navajo Artist, Tommy Jackson. This Beautifully designed ring features a long blue lapis stone set in a tall sawtooth bezel. The stone is in mint condition and has an amazing dark blue hue with several specks of lapis spotted throughout. The stone is quite beautiful up close with tons of character and sits rather high on the finger. It sticks up and out of the bezel just a tad, showing off Jacksons cutting and polishing skills. The bezel is in perfect condition with no dings or dents, and where its forged together on one side its completely invisible. A real beauty, this ring was very well made and taken care of over the years. The sand cast band is worthy of bragging rights as well. At the back center it starts off as a single shank and as it nears the sides of the band it splits into a double shank with curling silver works. At the back of the ring face where it is forged to the bottom of the bezel, it extends all the way past the north and south ends of the stone with more curling silver works protruding from under the stone. A super rare design by Jackson in perfect condition! The sand cast band is thick, sturdy, and in perfect round shape. This ring is waiting to be cherished and enjoyed for now…. And handed down to loved ones later. A lovely addition to any Native American jewelry collection…. Or the perfect piece to start one! Size – 6.5. Weight – 7 Grams.
