Vintage Zuni Turquoise Ring Sterling Silver Channel Inlay Size 9 Native American

As imaged.

Signed however, blurred.

• Style: Channel Inlay. The stones are set into silver channels separated by thin metal walls, creating a smooth, flush surface.
• Pattern: Asymmetrical geometric/mosaic pattern.
• Stone: Sleeping Beauty or similar high-grade blue turquoise. The uniform color and lack of heavy matrix are desirable traits.
• Metal: Likely Sterling Silver. In the fourth and seventh images, there is a faint hallmark inside the band. It appears to be stamped "STERLING" and may include an artist’s signature or initials, though it is quite worn.

• Size: Based on the ring mandrel photos, this is a US Size 9.
• Band Width: The face of the ring has a tapered, signet-style bypass or rectangular frame that narrows toward the back of the band.

• Wear: There is visible "pocket wear" or surface scratching on the silver. This is common for vintage pieces and gives it a nice patina, but a light buffing with a jewelry cloth could brighten it up.
• Inlay Integrity: The turquoise appears to be intact with no missing "tiles" or significant cracks, which is the most important factor for the value of channel inlay.
