Up for sale is an exceptionally striking, heavy-gauge vintage Zuni-style channel inlay statement ring. This bold piece features a masterful, high-end geometric stepped block face, showcasing clean, alternating rows of vibrant turquoise and deep black jet set completely flush between vertical silver channels.
The structural artistry extends down the sides, where the substantial sterling silver band features deeply grooved chevron / diagonal stair-step architectural accent slashes carved right into the thick walls of the shank.
