Caribbean Blue Turquoise Ring pendants these sterling silver bench beadsThis ring by Navajo jeweler Danny Kenneth has turquoise that reminds us of the shifting blues in the Caribbean. The stone is set in a shadowbox that is oxidized with twisted sterling silver wire all the way around. A much thicker twisted silver wire winds all around the small wire. The bank is triple shank which attaches to the setting.
