Sterling Silver and Sonoran Gold Ring by Daniel Benally/Running Bear

This striking sterling silver ring showcases a luminous oval Sonoran Gold turquoise cabochon — its soft seafoam-green color laced with silvery white matrix — set in a beautifully detailed twisted rope bezel. Hand-stamped star-flower silver buttons accent each corner of the setting, adding a classic Navajo elegance that draws the eye in every direction.

The wide sterling silver band is equally impressive. The  hand-stamped side shank, shows the fine radiating stampwork and pierced cutout details along the side — the kind of deliberate, skilled work that transforms a ring into a piece of wearable art.

This piece is attributed to Navajo artist Daniel Benally and bears the Running Bear hallmark, reflecting the tradition of family and workshop collaboration common in Native American silversmithing.
