Large areas of creamy white are interrupted by delicate brown webbing, small blue-white pools, and darker mineral formations that seem suspended beneath the polished surface.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe stone’s unconventional silhouette gives the ring its character. One side rises almost vertically while the opposite edge pushes outward into a broad angular shoulder before tapering into a point. The result suggests a wing, shield, map, or geological shard depending on how it is viewed.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRamona’s restrained setting keeps the composition focused. A serrated bezel grips the irregular perimeter, while the oxidized recess creates enough depth to make the pale stone appear to float above the silver.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eArtifact Registry\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eArtifact Name:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e The Ghost Wing Ring\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eArtist:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Ramona Laloma\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eHallmark:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Artist signed\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Natural Dry Creek turquoise and sterling silver\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Large freeform cabochon, hand-cut serrated bezel, oxidized shadow channel and substantial handmade band\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eRing size:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 8.5\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eWeight:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 24 grams\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eEra:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Vintage\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eCollector’s Gallery Value:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e$1,195\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCurator’s Field Observation\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis stone is visually more complex than its pale palette initially suggests.
