A Navajo Sterling Silver Inlay Lapis Ring is a piece of Native American jewelry handcrafted by Navajo artisans, featuring sterling silver with inlaid lapis lazuli, a deep blue stone often flecked with pyrite.  These rings showcase traditional Navajo techniques, such as channel inlay, where stones are precisely cut and set into the silver to create intricate patterns or bold designs.  The lapis may be paired with other stones like turquoise or coral for a vibrant, multi-stone look, reflecting Navajo cultural aesthetics.
