This Navajo ring by Navajo-Diné master silversmith Orville Tsinnie is a substantial, heavy-gauge all-sterling silver ring with a bold, sculptural presence. It features a wide, rectangular face (table) that serves as the main canvas for the design, paired with a distinctive split shank on the underside. The shank consists of four parallel silver bands that flow together, creating depth, visual interest, and a strong, comfortable fit on the finger. The ring has a bright, polished silver finish that highlights the metal’s luster and the precision of the handwork. The stamping is crisp and deep, which is a hallmark of Tsinnie’s meticulous technique. Orville Tsinnie was renowned for his heavy silver fabrication, precise stamping, and ability to create all-silver pieces of exceptional quality. This ring exemplifies his mastery of hand-stamping and file work, a classic example of Orville Tsinnie’s all-silver style: bold rectangular face with intricate hand-stamping (feather/wing and spider/starburst motifs), combined with his signature split shank and silver bead accents. It is a wearable, sculptural statement piece that showcases pure silver craftsmanship without stones.
