A STATEMENT RING FOR THE TRUE COLLECTOR. 

Double D Ranch is pleased to offer this vibrant creation from well-renowned and highly-coveted jewelry artisan Jesse Robins. The breathtaking ring features a large rectangular center stone of beautifully striated purple spiny oyster, framed with smaller rectangles of gorgeous Fox turquoise, expertly inlaid within an ultra-minimal sterling silver bezel on a substantial split-bar band that tapers to the back. Pictures don’t do it justice -- it’s a collector’s piece, for sure!

Jesse was born and raised in Prescott, Arizona and has been traveling and experiencing the American Southwest ever since. He was introduced to Native American jewelry through his mother at an early age. Through these unique surroundings, the seed was planted for future work to come. Early on, much of Jesse’s time with art was spent playing in the mud as he learned to create his first fine art through ceramics. In college Jesse found a new love in archaeology. Which he studied at Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado. Archaeology would take Jesse to every corner of the Southwest, eventually leading him back home to Prescott.

While in Prescott a chance meeting with Randy “Bubba” Shackelford, a local silversmith, would forever change Jesse’s path. Under Bubba’s tutelage working at Falcon Trading Company, Jesse was immersed in the traditional techniques of tufa cast and hand-wrought silver work.

Today, Jesse continues to work as an archaeologist traveling the west with his eyes and heart. These forces always pull him back to the white metal and blue stones he has come to love. In his time off, Jesse follows his passion of manipulating silver and cutting stones. When possible he finds his way back to Prescott, where he and Bubba continue to collaborate together.
