Egyptian Turquoise Ring in Sunray Setting by Chris Billie

This handcrafted Egyptian Turquoise Ring by acclaimed Navajo silversmith Chris Billie is a radiant blend of tradition, artistry, and rare natural beauty. Set in solid sterling silver, the design features a genuine Egyptian turquoise cabochon that rises approximately 3/8" above the band, creating a bold and eye-catching profile.

Framed in a meticulously hand-stamped sunray bezel, the setting measures 7/8" in diameter, with layered beaded details that add texture and depth. The ring is finished with a comfortable split shank band and is sized at 7.

Sourced from the legendary mines of Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula, this turquoise is among the oldest known to humankind—mined for over 5,000 years. Prized by ancient Egyptian royalty, it’s renowned for its striking blue-green color, unique coppery matrix, and exceptional rarity. Each stone carries a deep history and a look unlike any other.
