Narrow Rosarita Band Ring by David Rosales

Narrow Rosarita Band Ring – Handcrafted by David Rosales

This lovely band ring comes from the Rosarita Collection by David Rosales, one of the most respected Native American jewelry designers working today. The design is sleek and simple, with rich red Rosarita inlaid in sterling silver. Thin silver channels separate each section of stone, creating a refined and elegant look. Measuring about 4mm wide, this narrow band is dainty enough to wear every day yet still stands out with its striking color.

Rosarita itself is a fascinating material. It is not a gemstone but a byproduct of gold refining, formed when gold was extracted from ore using an old smelting process. The result is a beautiful glass-like material with vivid shades of red, often with hints of orange or burgundy. Today, Rosarita is no longer produced, making it a rare and highly sought-after material for jewelry. Each piece offers a unique alternative to traditional gemstones.

This ring is perfect for casual, everyday wear. Its slim profile makes it easy to stack with other rings, though the bold Rosarita color means it looks wonderful on its own as well. Whether you want a versatile accent piece or simply love the warm tones of red jewelry, this design will quickly become a favorite.

Please note that David Rosales’ jewelry is handcrafted by skilled Navajo artisans in Gallup, New Mexico. Because of the intricate inlay work and attention to detail, each piece requires about six weeks to create. The result is a one-of-a-kind piece of art that is well worth the wait.
