Four Stone Number 8 Turquoise Ring by Kenneth Jones

A striking blend of craftsmanship and tradition, this Four Stone Number 8 Turquoise Ring by Navajo silversmith Kenneth Jones is a testament to the artistry of handmade Native American jewelry.

The focal point of the ring is its four cabochons of rare Number 8 turquoise—each uniquely patterned with a web of golden-brown matrix against vivid blue stone. These gems are carefully set in hand-cut sterling silver bezels, each with fine sawtooth edges that create a delicate yet defined frame around the stones.

The setting features a beautifully balanced vertical arrangement, anchored by polished silver drops that accentuate the turquoise and add depth to the design. Flanking the stones are deeply hand-stamped silver accents and traditional Navajo motifs, lending texture and visual rhythm to the ring. The shank is split at the shoulders, gradually tapering into a solid, comfortable band at the back—offering both elegance and durability.

Every detail, from the stone placement to the intricate silverwork, reflects Kenneth Jones’ deep respect for heritage and his refined silversmithing technique.
