Description
Striking but simple turquoise ring by renowned jeweler, Gary Reeves (1962-2014). The beautiful stone is Morenci turquoise with a bronze/brown matric. It is approximately size 8 and weighs 10 grams. The stone is rectanular, approximately 1" x 3/4" and has silver beading on the top and bottom. We purchased this ring for our gallery inventory in 1993 and it has been in inventory or our safe, unworn since that time. The signature is slightly hidden by the shank and "sterling" imprint but is visible with a loop. Please see photos.Gary Reeves was an important Navajo silversmith who began crafting jewelry at the young age of 12. He was the brother or renowned Navajo artists, Sunshine and David Reeves (deceased). They used high quality stones and materials and called their style "Navajo Revival" as it was inspired by the designs of early 20th century Navajo jewelry.
