Turquoise Ring by noted Navajo jeweler Marvin Slim
Item Number: 345
Time Left: CLOSED
Description
Marvin Slim comes from a family of Navajo jewelers and so the artistry lies deep in his DNA. The beautiful results can be seen in this finely crafted ring of two types of turquoise, sterling silver and coral. It will fit an adult finger of almost any size since it is designed to expand or compress to fit as the need may be. Marvin and his work will be seen this summer at Indian Market/Santa Fe at booth 720-Lincoln East. His creations have also been for sale through the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Museum in New York City and many other national venues. His wife Luana, originally from San Felipe Pueblo, is also a jeweler. Both sell their wares under the Portal at the Palace of Governors in Santa Fe.
Don't let this ring slip through your fingers without placing a bid.
