White Buffalo~ Tail of The Thunderbird Ring~Sterling Silver~ Artisan Handmade~ Size 7 1/2
This is TAIL of the THUNDERBIRD, it is a White Buffalo Turquoise, Sterling Silver ring, made in a Native American southwestern style. It is an artisan created and hand fabricated piece. This Sterling silver ring I have handcrafted to be a size 7 1/2.
...White Buffalo turquoise is mined in Nevada. It is quite a rare stone and to my knowledge, no other deposit has been found outside of Nevada. The black parts of the stone are the natural black chert matrix. This is Natural and untreated, this is a beautiful piece of White Buffalo.
...I have crafted this ring by hand, in my workshop/studio in Rural Oklahoma. The stone is encased in a fine silver bezel and then I surrounded the bezel with silver "drops of dew". I call them that because when you are melting silver to make raindrops or dewdrops, they are actually liquid at one point and they melt into a ball in their liquid state. They are shiney and when at their hottest, they have that surface tension and roll around like drops of water. It is really cool to watch, and still fascinates me after all these years of working with Sterling silver.
... The THUNDERBIRD tail is hand formed, and shaped to fit the stone. All the work is done in my shop using my collection of traditional silversmithing hand tools.
... I have used a heavy weight of silver on this ring, but it is not too heavy on the hand. I have enjoyed creating this ring and I hope the person who buys this ring enjoys wearing it, as much as I enjoyed creating it! It's a beautiful ring, comfortable and gorgeous on the hand.
.....size 7 1/2

from 1801 reviewsThe Tres Flora Stacker Cuff bracelet is beautiful! This is the second Tres Flora bracelet I have bought, and both are so fun to stack and wear with different bracelets. Quality is impeccable and detail is perfect!
Wanda always does an excellent job!
I recently introduced my daughter-in-law to my Wild at Heart collection of which I have many pieces. She admired several of my White Buffalo items so I’ve been watching for the perfect Christmas gift for her. Since she wears dangling earrings, I knew this pair would be just the thing to please her. Wow! I was so impressed when they arrived! They’re simply stunning! Now I can’t wait to present her with them next month. I have no doubt that she will be thrilled.
I have been purchasing treasures from Wanda for many years, and she never disappoints. Her craftsmanship and the quality of the stones are the absolute highest one can find. This pendant is the perfect reflection of that tradition. It’s a big old beautiful pendant that’s sure to be noticed and appreciated for years. Love it!
Wanda has done it again!!!
My new favourite piece from Wanda. This white Buffalo ring is Gorgeous! Best silversmith I’ve ever seen, her craft work is flawless.
What you created Wanda is more beautiful than I envisioned. I make some jewelry, like Folky pieces seen @ Sundance catalog, vintage beads, real stones, asymmetrical, . However, this is gorgeous. My husband is critical of me and my jewelry.
I didn't tell him I bought this. And he thought this pendant [ I placed it upon a Navajo small pearl necklace I had] was just beautiful. I love the meanings for Royston Turquoise [ looked it up] and the use of Citrine, a stone without negativity either. It feels so good to wear. I keep it in a special box and I cherish it. You are very talented and more, Wanda. Thank you.
My first Naja! Such a beautiful piece. Looks fantastic with my Navajo Pearls from Wanda. The Tyrone turquoise and amber are so beautifully matched I couldn’t resist buying it. Love how Wanda hand makes all her pieces and takes such care to find perfect pieces of turquoise and stones. Have many pieces of Wanda’s jewelry. Fell in love with the quality of work and care she puts into every piece. Can’t go wrong purchasing from her.
My Spirit Pony turquoise pendent is gorgeous and perfect. I am so happy I made this heirloom purchase. Thank you Wanda.
The title says it all. I loved this spirit horse when I saw it on line. It arrived today. When I opened the box, I was overwhelmed. Just beautiful. I'm wearing it tomorrow.
Now to look for something else!
Wanda is my favorite silversmith hands down!!! Every single piece I have purchased from Wanda has been perfectly hand crafted. Not only are the colors beautiful but the wear is comfortable. I Will always buy her pieces.
What a beautiful ring! The details are exquisite. I love the color of this stone. I have many rings and I think this might be my new favorite. Shipped very fast. Highly recommended!
OMG! I have several pairs of earrings from Wanda, and they are all awesome. But these...are the cats' pajamas! Well made and the pink stones are beyond my expectations.
The quality of this ring is far beyond my expectations. It is stunning and I am buying the bracelet to match. Wanda is great to work with. She goes out of her way to work with you.
