Richard Begay Sterling Silver Ring w/ 9 Butterscotch Amber Cabochons, Sz 8
Signed “RB” and marked “Sterling,” this impressive Navajo ring is attributed to silversmith Richard Begay, a respected Native American artist whose work is represented in major collections. The ring features nine bezel-set cabochons of warm butterscotch amber, arranged in a bold cluster with silver bead accents. A marquise-shaped center stone (approx. 13.88 mm x 5.92 mm) is framed by eight oval cabochons averaging 8.72 mm x 6.65 mm. The oval face measures 1.46" x 1.14" with a rise of .25", and the substantial silver band is currently a U.S. size 8. Total weight: 14.8 grams.
This piece exemplifies Begay’s craftsmanship, blending traditional Navajo silverwork with organic amber cabochons in a dramatic, collectible statement ring. A standout addition for collectors of Native American jewelry or those seeking a striking artisan accessory.
Condition:
Good condition overall, with all stones secure in their settings. Some surface scuffing and natural inclusions to the amber are present, consistent with age and use. Silver retains a light patina; polishing is left to the buyer’s discretion.
