A natural turquoise ring contains stone that is mined directly from the earth and has not been chemically altered. The setting is typically hand‑crafted in sterling silver, and the piece is produced by an artist who identifies as an Indian artisan. For a broader view of authentic ring styles, see our Native American Rings collection.
Genuine turquoise displays a matrix of varying color and often contains natural inclusions. Look for a .925 stamp on the metal and a maker’s hallmark or signature. LomaSiiva’s experts can help verify provenance. Explore more examples in the Jewelry category.
Because turquoise can be brittle, ring bands are usually slightly larger than a standard size to reduce stress on the stone. Measure your finger at the end of the day and compare with the size chart provided on the product page. Our full catalog is available at All Products for reference.
Yes. Navajo, Zuni, and Hopi artisans each have distinct setting techniques and design motifs. Navajo rings often feature bold, geometric patterns, while Zuni pieces may incorporate intricate stone inlay. Browse the Navajo Jewelry category to see characteristic examples.
Keep the ring away from harsh chemicals, extreme heat, and prolonged sunlight. Clean gently with a soft cloth and store it in a padded pouch. For in‑person assistance, feel free to Visit Us where our staff can demonstrate proper care techniques.
Authentic pieces are often accompanied by a certificate of authenticity that includes the artist’s name, tribal affiliation, and a description of the stone’s origin. LomaSiiva provides this documentation with every purchase to support provenance.
