Ring, Cluster, Turquoise, Large Stone With Snake Eye Turquoise, Attributed to Dick Leekity, Vintage ‘70s, 7, 1789

Let your fingers do the talkin’!

A signature statement ring can say a lot, and this timeless 1970s-era vintage piece by Navajo artisan Dick Leekity fits the bill. The central stone of freeform turquoise is framed with tiny snake eye turquoise stones, all set in simple silver bezels and accented with sterling silver rope and silver drop details. At 50 years old, it’s already proved it will stand the test of time!
