Extra large, heavy turquoise inlay cast silver decorative pitted collector’s ring. Made by noted Cherokee silversmith Lee Epperson. He’s created a heavy cast silver band and has inlaid a large rectangular slab of light pale blue turquoise in the center of the ring face. The silversmith has cut out areas on both sides and applied a pitted appearance along with a blackened oxidation followed by silver drops as decoration. The band is flat across the bottom which helps the ring from spinning sideways on the finger. He’s finished them by applying a high polishing to both the outside and inside of the ring.

The ring face measures 1 1/8” by 7/8” across and they weigh between a hefty 46.4 grams (1.64 oz or 1.49 ozt) to 47.8 grams (1.69 oz or 1.54 ozt) each. They are handcrafted by Cherokee silversmith Lee Epperson. Born in 1935, Mr Epperson has created sculptures, paintings, and cast silver/gold fabrications. Mostly known in the silver world for making jewelry boxes and silver/gold sculptures. Bold heavy Cherokee turquoise inlay cast silver collector’s rings! $999.95
