Daylight Star Sleeping Beauty Turquoise Stamped & Tooled Ring by Darrell Victor

A luminous tribute to the quiet beauty of the desert sky, Daylight Star is a handcrafted sterling silver ring by acclaimed Apache silversmith Darrell Victor, featuring a rare Sleeping Beauty turquoise cabochon. This stone, mined from the now-closed Sleeping Beauty Mine in Arizona, is prized for its pure, robin’s egg blue hue, reminiscent of a clear morning sky.

Set in a finely twisted rope bezel, the turquoise is cradled by a wide, hand-tooled silver band adorned with traditional stampwork. Each mark is deeply etched, forming a rhythmic pattern that evokes the natural harmony of desert landscapes and tribal artistry. The band tapers gently for comfort, while maintaining a bold presence on the hand.

At the heart of the turquoise lies a tiny reflective pinprick, like a star caught in daylight: a subtle, celestial shimmer that adds mystery and depth to the otherwise serene stone. This delicate imperfection becomes a focal point, a reminder that even the clearest skies hold secrets.

The ring bears the DV hallmark, authenticating it as a Darrell Victor original. Victor is known for blending traditional Native American silversmithing techniques with contemporary elegance. His work often features high-grade turquoise and meticulous silver tooling, making each piece a wearable legacy of craftsmanship and culture.

Daylight Star is more than jewelry; it’s a moment of stillness, a whisper of sky, and a star you can carry with you.
