I purchased this hefty ring directly from KC Kirpach, Kirpach Brayclets. She was selling in the lobby of the Old Faithful Inn. I really enjoyed chatting and doing business with her and her husband.
KC included a description card with my purchase. I wish all artists would do this for their customers.

Gorgeous ring, and I love the hefty band (a what a cool hallmark!)
It is nice when the artist or seller gives you written info. Sometimes you have to ask. The gentleman at the pawn shop I used to visit in Flagstaff would always give me a receipt with some typed info about the piece; not as detailed as what she wrote for you, but pertinent things that I would forget until I looked back through the receipts. I have a small Hopi cuff that I bought on the Hopi reservation many years ago, and I wasn’t sure who the artist was until this past winter I finally dug out the receipt, and bingo! They had written the artist on the receipt.

Thank you @Ziacat She had so many cool items. I really wanted one of her tufa cast bracelets but all were too small. Her pieces have been modeled in Cowboys and Indians magazine. KC is a retired hospice nurse IIRC.

Thank you @Stracci This gal was passionate about her pieces. She is going to reset one of my loose cabs into one of her settings in March or April.
