lapis rings

Since ancient times, people have been wearing rings that are associated with ceremony, spirituality and superstition. They are usually embellished with exotic gemstones or engraved with intricate designs. In the 15th century, the Pueblo Indian tribes of the American southwest were taught by the Spanish how to work with silver.

In time, Native American became skillful silversmiths who created highly desirable silver rings. Often gemstones were used for ornamentation. Today, a wide selection of beautiful rings include not only sterling silver but other kinds such as lapis rings, wedding bands, gold rings and more from the Navajo, Zuni, and Hopi Indian tribes.
