Another of Gerald Lomaventema's uniquely designed creations is this size 10
3/4, 3/8 inch wide ring, which features a two carat piece of Cerillos turquoise, surrounded by overlay designs of Prayer Shrines and Tawa, the Sun Father. Five sheets of silver were used to
create this uniquely styled ring, which carries Gerald's Bear Paw hallmark on the inside. As Gerald mentions, it is "traditional techniques on the border of
contemporary." 962-20006

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
