DESCRIPTION:

This is a wonderful piece of Navajo artistry! This piece of Native American jewelry is Navajo overlay hand crafted by artist Calvin Peterson out of genuine sterling silver. Overlay is a process that utilizes at least two layers of sterling silver. One layer forms the foundation, while the second is used to design the individual detailed overlay. In this ring, the second layer forms a lovely Kokopelli and Water Wave design for a fabulous look. The ring is stamped sterling and hallmarked. 

The Kokopelli is a common fertility symbol throughout the Southwest. In Native American beliefs, the Kokopelli visits various communities, seducing and impregnating the young women drawn to the tones of his flute playing. 

In Native American beliefs, the water waves design represents continuous life.
