Blackjack Three-Stone Lariat, by Eli Skeets

This refined three-stone lariat by acclaimed Navajo artist Eli Skeets features a bold trio of Blackjack turquoise—a distinctive, dark stone known for its high contrast matrix and depth. Each stone is expertly bezel-set in hand-stamped sterling silver, suspended in a balanced vertical drop that moves beautifully when worn.
