Sunshine is the younger brother of renowned silversmith Gary Reeves and of David Reeves (now deceased), who was so instrumental in teaching the craft to both Gary and Sunshine, as well as their half-brothers Darrel and Andy Cadman. Sunshine's work, like that of his brother Gary, is present in the collections of the Heard Museum in Phoenix and he has won numerous awards for his work.
This is a Sunshine Reeves 14-gauge Sterling, single-piece, sculpted shank ring. The stone is set in a straight-edged bezel wrapped with twist wire which forms the border of the ring face. The stampwork bites deep into the silver and no two of these are stamped exactly alike. We won't re-size these, nor attempt to stretch them. This one is set with a near-round stone of natural, untreated Number Eight turquoise from Nevada. This is somewhat similar to a ring design often made by his brother Gary (see Gary's rings).
Hallmarked "SUNSHINE REEVES" and stamped "Sterling" inside the shank.
Stone: 7/16" diameter Ring face: 9/16" diameter
