David Rosales Rosarita Men's Shield Ring

David Rosales Ring - A Shield of Heritage, Handcrafted in Rosarita

The Rosarita Shield Ring by David Rosales is a bold men’s design that commands attention. The face of the ring features a striking cross-like inlay pattern made from vivid red Rosarita, carefully cut and set into sterling silver. The geometric layout of the inlay resembles the shields carried by crusaders, giving this piece a powerful and distinctive style. At nearly every angle, the fiery color of the Rosarita stands out, making this a strong statement piece.

Adding to its unique character, the sides of the band are adorned with raised fleur-de-lis designs. Traditionally, the fleur-de-lis is a symbol of strength, honor, and heritage, and here it complements the bold shield-like face of the ring. The combination of intricate silverwork and vivid Rosarita creates a design that feels timeless while still being modern enough for today’s styles.

Rosarita itself is a rare and unusual material. It was formed decades ago as a byproduct of gold refining and is no longer produced, which makes it increasingly difficult to find. With its rich red tones and glass-like surface, Rosarita provides a look that is both historic and contemporary, perfect for those who want something truly different from traditional gemstones.

Like all David Rosales Jewelry, this ring is handcrafted by Navajo artists in Gallup, New Mexico. Every piece requires about six weeks to create due to the detailed inlay and silversmithing. The result is a piece of Native American Jewelry that any man will cherish wearing.
