The fine largest triangle shaped stone is surrounded by silver rope and measures approx. 5/8″ long x 3/8+” at widest. The three (3) surrounding stones each measure approx. 1/4″ long x 3/16″ wide. Overall, the heavy ring plaque measures approx. 1 1/8″ long x 7/8″ wide; the shank is approx. 1/4″ tapering to 3/16″ wide. This large NAVAJO ring will fit approx. It weighs very hefty 30.5 grams.
