9 Stone Snake Eye Turquoise & Sterling Ring

9 Stone Snake Eye Turquoise & Sterling Ring
Size 8

Snake eye turquoise ring in saw tooth bezels 5mm cabochon accented by hand made silver balls.
The snake eye technique requires the same level of stonework skill as petit point, but creates a cabochon that resembles a sphere, or dot; thus looking like the eyes of a snake when finished. Typically an artist will create a small cylinder shape and then polish one of its ends round. The cabochon can then be cut to the necessary height. Once set in its sterling silver setting, the cabochon appears to be a small highly polished sphere. The Snake is highly respected in the Southwestern Nations, as a symbol of being able to communicate with the Earth.
