The Navajo people as well as many others consider this a Wedding Band while others enjoy wearing a Ring Band like this for their everyday Ring. Durango Silver Company usually has a large selection of these type of Native American handmade Silver Ring Bands to choose from, however, they do sell quickly in different seasons of the year due to weddings as well as other events. To the right is another Native Inlaid Silver Band highlighted with Tibetan Turquoise, Black Onyx and Opal - it was created by Steve Harper, Steve is a fantastic Jewelry designer from New Mexico. This type of Tibetan Turquoise with two tones is very colorful and we try to have as much of it as possible as it is very popular for us. The gemstone inlay in this particular band is very low profile which makes this Silver Band Ring very comfortable.

The fluted band to the left is narrow with thick high dome flutes of Silver, it is bold yet it is narrow so it could be worn with along side of another ring on the same finger - we call this a stackable ring band. To the right is a Sterling Silver Ring Band handcrafted by Crystal Hartman of Durango, Colorado USA. This beautifully flowing Silver work is Crystal's specialty, Crystal creates each Silver Ring with great care. This is what we call a Lost Wax Silver Band, they are very unique and a joy to wear.

Above are two more unique Bands and Rings from Durango Silver Company. Both of these Band Rings were created by John Hartman of Durango Silver. The Ring to the left is an overlay, John overlays the designed Silver pieces onto a flat sheet band which is the inside of the ring. The Silver Band Ring on the right was made by braiding two pieces of round Silver wire and then flattening them which creates a unique S curve. Many individuals love this braded Silver band, they tell us it is their favourite everyday ring and they never take it off.
