This is a beautiful vintage Navajo Southwestern Sterling Silver ring featuring a vibrant Blue Turquoise cabochon.  The ring has a smooth, polished oval turquoise cabochon with subtle dark matrix inclusions.  The stone is securely housed in a smooth silver bezel, which is beautifully encircled by a decorative twisted rope pattern wire border, which is a simple, polished solid silver split-shoulder shank that tapers into a comfortable, classic band.  This distinct configuration is highly characteristic of Native American silversmithing, particularly Navajo artistry dating from the mid-to-late 20th century.  This uniquely designed artisan ring would be a great addition to any vintage Native American sterling silver jewelry collection or would make a great gift idea for that special someone.
