This listing is for the photographed Southwest Native Turquoise Red Coral Inlay Tri-Block Style Band Ring - Size 10.5. Beautiful sterling silver ring featuring a wide block band equipped with three rectangles inlaid with crushed turquoise and red coral. The Navajo believed turquoise was a sacred stone used for protection from evil, good fortune, and health. The turquoise blue is very special in Navajo culture resembling the sky and water. Coral has been used by Native Americans for at least 600 years in art and jewelry which was brought to them from Europeans arriving in their travel to the New World. The use of coral was used heavily by the Zuni tribe in the southwest. Large historical piece of jewelry.
