This striking sterling silver ring by renowned Navajo jeweler Leslie Yazzie features a vibrant lapis lazuli cabochon, its deep blue hue flecked with golden pyrite inclusions. Handcrafted in the 1970s, the piece showcases Yazzie's masterful silverwork. A true collector’s item, it embodies the elegance and heritage of Navajo artistry.
