Vintage Navajo-style sterling silver and natural turquoise ring, likely produced during the 1970s Native American jewelry boom.
This delicate piece features a vibrant, oval-cut turquoise stone with subtle, natural matrix variations. The stone is securely set in a classic saw-tooth bezel, surrounded by traditional metalwork details, including twisted rope wire, silver raindrops, and an elegant leaf motif.
Perfect as a statement piece for smaller hands, a pinky ring, or a midi ring, this classic ring showcases the beautiful artistry of Southwestern-style jewelry.
This estate piece was listed as sterling silver by the auction house that sold it. I am not an expert or jeweler and can not substantiate with certainty that this piece is genuine sterling or turquoise.
Prior to the late 1970s, many Native American artists working for trading posts or independent benches did not stamp their items with "925" or a personal hallmark. An absent stamp is incredibly common for genuine, historic items
