Sterling Silver Turquoise Petit Point Navajo Ring
Campitos Turquoise is one of my favorites. Its glassy appearance and the minimalist matrix are appealing. I also love Kingman, Sleeping Beauty, Number 8, Hubei, Pilot Mountain, Royston, and Carico Lake -- but I digress. Campitos, like almost every other piece of turquoise, are very unique. It’s found in Mexico and has been traded since ancient times throughout North, Central, and South America.
The petit point, also called “cluster work”, in this ring is done among the Navajo and Zuni in the American Southwest. This Navajo piece is adorned with 9 pieces of Campitos turquoise set into oxidized sterling silver. The rest of the ring is polished with Navajo raindrops (small silver domes) set between each stone.
