RL x Neil Zarama Ignot Thunderbird Ring

Ralph Lauren proudly presents a collaboration with Neil Zarama (Chiricahua Apache Nation), a celebrated silversmith and artist residing in San Francisco, California. Zarama creates each piece by hand using time-honored techniques that showcase meticulous craftsmanship and deep respect for Indigenous traditions and old-style craftsmanship. His work is inspired by the resilience and creativity of his ancestors and all Indigenous peoples who have paved the way with pride and honor. This exclusive men’s jewelry collection brings together Zarama’s artistry with Ralph Lauren’s commitment to timeless design. Crafted with .925 sterling silver and adorned with high-grade turquoise sourced from the Americas, this ring features thunderbird and arrow symbols deeply rooted in Indigenous traditions. The thunderbird—a sacred bird in Native culture—represents power, protection, and the connection between the physical and spiritual realms. Its presence in the collection serves as a guardian and a reminder of strength in the face of adversity. The arrow, a symbol of focus, direction, and perseverance, reflects the importance of purpose and moving forward with intention.
