Navajo Sterling Silver Kingman Turquoise Ring — Attributed to Ralph Rawlings

Some rings don’t whisper their story—they step into the room and announce themselves.
This heavyweight Navajo sterling ring, attributed to acclaimed silversmith Ralph Rawlings, is exactly that kind of piece. Built from a full one ounce of solid .925 silver, it carries the unmistakable presence of classic Southwest artistry: bold, uncompromising, and made to outlive the man who wears it.

At its center sits a large natural Kingman turquoise cabochon, a stone prized for its electric blue-green tone and warm golden matrix. Set in Rawlings’ signature oval bezel, the turquoise rises like a desert sun, framed by finely cut radiating file lines—a calling card of Rawlings’ workshop. The shoulders taper into a smooth, heavy band that feels confident on the hand without ever being loud for its own sake.

Inside the ring, the hallmark tells the story: a boxed capital R, consistent with the documented stamp of Ralph Rawlings, a Navajo silversmith known for producing powerful men’s rings with oversized stones and thick silverwork. His pieces remain highly sought after by collectors who appreciate substantial, old-style construction.

This is not a delicate adornment. This is a ring for men who’ve lived a few chapters—men who understand that silver earns its character the same way they did: with time, grit, and the scars of honest work.
