Every piece had a life before us. And, we hope, it will have one after us.
Bubble Bop began with a simple habit: noticing the things other people pass by.A ring with an almost-worn-away signature. An unusual pair of earrings by an unknown maker. A piece of jewelry hidden among dozens of sale lots. Sometimes we know who made a piece and when. Sometimes we know almost nothing about it. But something makes us stop, pick it up, and look again.That is how we choose pieces for Bubble Bop.This signed Ben Nighthorse ring is one of those pieces that made us stop.A substantial sterling silver setting surrounds a vivid blue turquoise cabochon, framed by bold geometric details and feather-inspired motifs. The contrast of bright turquoise, darkened recesses, and silver gives the ring a strong sculptural presence.The inside is clearly signed BEN NIGHTHORSE and stamped STERLING.The ring is vintage, circa 1980s, and approximately size 8. It is pre-owned and shows signs of age and wear consistent with a vintage piece. Please look carefully at the photographs, as they are part of the description.The exact turquoise mine and any treatment of the stone are unknown, so we do not make claims that cannot be confirmed.What we can say is simpler: it is signed, substantial, beautifully made — and difficult to pass by.
