Huge Repoussee Concho with Kingman Oval, Rita Lee

Sterling Silver Statement Ring by Rita Lee

Overview

Bold, dimensional, and steeped in traditional Navajo technique, this oversized concho ring by master silversmith Rita Lee is a show of strength and heritage. Featuring a high-grade Kingman turquoise oval set at its center, the entire piece is shaped using the time-honored repoussé method—pushing the silver from the back to create sculptural relief and texture. Size 8.

Key Features

• Authentic Repoussé Work – Hand-stamped and hand-raised silver delivers deep texture and contour—no cast parts, no shortcuts.

• Kingman Turquoise Center – The oval cabochon displays the characteristic blues and soft matrix of this historic Arizona mine, held in a smooth bezel for contrast.

• Concho-Inspired Form – Modeled after traditional Navajo concho belt elements, with radial stamping, domed surface, and scalloped outer edge.

• Heavyweight Sterling Silver – Crafted in solid .925 silver with oxidized recesses to highlight every tool mark and layer of depth.

• Artist-Signed Piece – Rita Lee is known for museum-worthy craftsmanship rooted in Diné design legacy.

Why It Matters

• Statement in Scale – This is a bold ring meant to lead, not follow. It anchors a collection—or becomes the cornerstone of one.

• Technique-Driven Beauty – Repoussé work takes time, skill, and physical strength—each piece is sculpted, not molded.

• Legacy Craftsmanship – From the Kingman cab to the silversmithing, this ring reflects generations of cultural knowledge.

• Wearable Sculpture – It sits with presence, without sacrificing comfort—made for confident hands.
