Artist/Tribe: Jesse Robbins (Creek)
Jesse's work starts with old U.S. coins and a hand-carved tufa mold. The coins are melted down into an ingot and hand wrought. From the prepared ingot he carefully stamps, files, and finishes the metal work. Much of his work is finished with hand-cut stones including turquoise, spiny oyster, sugilite, Acoma jet, and coral.
Stone:Royston Turquoise
Royston is a turquoise mine located within the Royston District near Tonopah, Nevada. The Royston District consists of several mines including Royston, Royal Blue, Oscar Wehrend and Bunker Hill. The mines in this district were discovered as early as 1902. Royston turquoise is known as "grass roots", which means the best deposits are found within ten feet of the surface.
Note: This ring is sized according to US standards.
