Here is a unique ring made from solid silver cast in a Tufa stone
mold. Trini Lucas carved her design into a soft volcanic stone, Tufa, then filled the cavity with molten silver. The result was a uniquely textured piece of silver which she then formed into
a snake design for this ring. The band at it's widest is 1/4 inch and is size 8 1/2. Trini has stamped her bear hallmark on the inside.
Quite nice!

A Note About Ring Sizing
Most Hopi rings are wider than
traditional wedding bands and the similar ring styles many of us are accustomed to wearing.
As a result, for a comfortable fit, it is usually necessary to order a larger ring size than when shopping at the local
jewelry store.
How much larger depends upon the width of the Hopi band you are selecting.
As a general rule, for a Hopi band ring:
1/4" in width, an eighth to a quarter ring size larger is usually
sufficient
3/8" in width, requires one quarter to one half ring size larger
1/2" in width requires a minimum of one half ring size larger
