A three-stone turquoise inlay ring in sterling silver applies the Southwest inlay tradition - where gemstone material is set flush into a metal channel, creating a smooth surface where stone and metal meet at the same plane - to the three-stone ring format. The inlay technique creates a distinctly different visual quality from bezel or prong settings: the turquoise appears to float within the metal itself rather than being held above it. Three stones in the inlay format creates a continuous horizontal run of turquoise color across the ring face.
