Beyond turquoise and coral, Native American jewelers draw upon a remarkable palette of secondary stones — Afghan lapis lazuli traded across 6,000 years of human commerce, spiny oyster shell graded from fiery orange to royal purple, gaspeite, sugilite, charoite, and other rare materials that expand the chromatic possibilities of indigenous jewelry to extraordinary effect.
The ocean has supplied Native American jewelers with some of their most culturally significant materials. Mediterranean red coral, harvested from depths of 30 to 300 meters in the Tyrrhenian and Adriatic seas, arrived in the Southwest through Spanish colonial trade routes. Spiny oyster shell from the Sea of Cortez has been traded northward for over a thousand years. Mother of pearl, abalone, and other marine shells complete a palette of organic materials whose cultural importance rivals turquoise itself.

Discover this exceptional Native American Ring, meticulously crafted in Sterling Silver. This remarkable piece showcases genuine Spiny Oyster, beautifully complemented by Turquoise and Lapis Lazuli. The Spiny Oyster featured in this piece carries a rich heritage — Harvested from the warm waters of the Sea of Cortez off Baja California, Mexico. The shell ranges from deep red-orange to purple and has been traded into the Southwest for over a thousand years. Complementing the design, the Turquoise adds its own story — The iconic stone of the American Southwest, turquoise has been mined and treasured by Native peoples for over 2,000 years. Its blue-green color symbolizes sky, water, and protection. Rounding out this composition, the Lapis Lazuli brings additional character — Mined primarily in the mountains of Afghanistan for over 6,000 years, this deep blue stone flecked with golden pyrite has been prized by cultures worldwide. Its celestial appearance represents wisdom and truth. This piece bears the signature of artist O.P, a mark of authenticity and personal craftsmanship. Every piece at Humiovi is one-of-a-kind — once sold, it can never be replicated. Ships from our gallery in Sedona, Arizona.

Coral & spiny oyster

Last on, first off
Put your piece on after fragrance, lotion, and hairspray — and take it off before water, sleep, and sport.
Store with care
