beautiful, authentic vintage Southwestern Native American (Navajo style) ring crafted in solid sterling silver and featuring a striking natural turquoise cabochon. This classic mid-century bench-made piece features an impressive freeform blue-green turquoise stone accented with a rich, detailed golden-brown matrix.
Design & Craftsmanship:
The face of the ring is heavily ornamented with traditional, hand-tooled leaf/feather appliqués, a twisted silver rope accent around the secure bezel, and detailed silver rain drops/globules. The back showcases a sturdy, hand-soldered split-shank band attached to a heavy silver backplate.
It remains unsigned with no hallmarks, which is entirely consistent with genuine older Native American jewelry of this era. The silver features a gorgeous, deep natural patina that has been left completely unpolished to preserve its vintage integrity and collector value.
