Richard Chavez Ring of 14k Gold and Natural Red Coral

About the Piece: Fine Contemporary Ring, Gold and Coral, by San Felipe Pueblo Jeweler Richard Chavez

If you know the most significant creators in contemporary Native American jewelry, you've heard of San Felipe jeweler Richard Chavez. His coveted jewelry is some of the most glorious you'll find. It's handmade with the utmost precision and high contemporary elegance is what you'll find. Never over the top or over-designed, his pieces show an impeccable amount of restraint.

Take this sculptural ring, for example. Richard Chavez has set a superb natural red Mediterranean cabochon atop a small 14k gold pedestal for a commanding presentation of the stone. At first, the ring is simple - it's just gold and coral, but the dramatic curves are anything but.

The ring is size 7 1/4 with a 1" face that seems so much more because of its 3/8" height. Signed with Richard's hallmark.
