Lot Description:

(From the Cindy Cash Collection)

A striking piece of personal jewelry from the legendary June Carter Cash. This elegant cocktail ring features a large oval cabochon of natural deep blue lapis lazuli, flecked with golden pyrite inclusions, and surrounded by a halo of shimmering white diamonds. Set in .925 sterling silver, the ring blends classic design with a bold stage presence that reflects June’s unmistakable style and grace.

This piece was part of June’s personal collection and comes directly from the estate of her daughter, Cindy Cash.

Material: .925 Sterling Silver
Gemstones: Natural Lapis Lazuli & single cut Diamonds
Ring Size: 6, may be resized

An intimate and wearable treasure with deep ties to American music royalty.

Appraiser’s Note:

This sterling silver ring, worn by June Carter Cash, features a rich natural lapis lazuli center framed by a halo of single-cut diamonds—blending a bold, earthy elegance with vintage charm. Lapis has long symbolized wisdom and truth, and in this context, the piece reflects June’s grace and strength both on and off stage. Sterling silver was a practical yet stylish choice for performance jewelry, and items from June’s personal collection with such distinctive character and direct family provenance are seldom offered.

Auction Estimate: $2,000–$3,000

Provenance: From the Cindy Cash Collection and accompanied with a signed COA.

Thank you for joining us—it’s an honor to present this historic collection.
