Sterling Silver Kingman Turquoise Ring Size 7.75 by R. Calladito
This is the kind of ring that stops people in their tracks. Handcrafted by Navajo silversmith R. Calladito, this extraordinary Kingman turquoise statement ring is a showcase of advanced silversmithing at its finest — every inch of the face and band covered in meticulous, hand-applied detail.
At the center sits a freeform Kingman turquoise cabochon in a vivid, electric blue with subtle dark matrix — one of Arizona's most iconic and beloved turquoise mines. The stone is framed by a rope-twist bezel and surrounded by an elaborate arrangement of starshots, each one individually detailed with radiating lines and a raised center dome. Interspersed throughout are coiled spiral elements and silver shot beads that add movement and dimension to the face.
The band is equally impressive — a triple-shank construction featuring a center rope-twist wire flanked by two smooth sterling rails, visible in profile and adding substantial presence on the hand.
