David Rosales Black Beauty and CZ Ring

Black Beauty Inlay Ring with a Brilliant CZ Center

The center stone catches your attention first, but there is plenty to appreciate along the sides of this David Rosales Black Beauty Ring. Black jade and blue lab-created opal bring a wonderful contrast to the sterling silver band, while seven cubic zirconia stones give it plenty of sparkle. It is a bold design with details that deserve a closer look.

A large, rectangular CZ sits at the center, framed by a vertical row of three smaller, round CZs on each side. This balanced arrangement gives the ring a broad, eye-catching face. The polished silver around the stones keeps the design clean, allowing the sparkle and color to stand out.

Along both sides of the band, the Black Beauty Collection combines deep black jade with bright blue lab-created opal. Thin silver dividers separate the inlay into geometric sections, with narrow strips of blue alongside larger blocks of color. The opal shows blue and green flashes against the dark jade, adding another layer of interest as the light changes. A set of three grooves in the silver finishes the design just beyond the inlay.

There is considerable work behind those clean lines. Each piece of jade and lab-created opal must be individually cut, shaped, and fitted into its place within the band. The artists gradually grind the pieces to size so they fit closely against the surrounding silver. Getting that fit right takes experience, patience, and a careful eye, especially when working with the narrow sections seen in this ring.

David Rosales co-founded Supersmith in Gallup, New Mexico, in 1997. His designs combine contemporary styling with the detailed inlay work that has made his jewelry such a favorite here at Stagecoach. This sterling silver ring is handcrafted by his team of Navajo Native American jewelry artists, bringing together thoughtful design and skilled craftsmanship.
