70's New Early Aaron Toadlena Navajo Kingman Mens Cigar Band Ring Sz 13.5

  
I DO NOT NEGOTIATE THE PRICE OF MY ITEMS BEFORE OR AFTER THE SALE. MY LISTED PRICE WILL BE MY BEST. ALL MY SALES ARE FINAL! AARON TOADLENA NAVAJO SILVERSMITH EARLY 1970'S UNWORN OLD STOCK KINGMAN TURQUOISE CIGAR BAND GENTELMENS SIGNET STYLE RING WITH AN EXAMPLE OF WHY KINGMAN TURQUOISE WAS/IS STILL CONSIDERED THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BLUE TURQUOISE GEMS. THIS STONE HAS THE WHITE WEBBING ALONG WITH A LITTLE HOST ROCK PYRITE. A STUNNING NATURAL TURQUOISE IN A SETTING THAT CAN BE DRESSED UP OR DOWN, WORN EVERY PLACE WITH PRIDE AND CERTAINLY DISTINCTION, AS IT IS BRILLIANT BLUE IN ANY LIGHTING, INDOORS OR OUT. THE SETTING MAKES A STRONG RESERVED STATEMENT AND ALLOWS THE SHOW TO GO TO THE GEM.

THE HALLMARK IS NOT FOUND ON THE NET, BUT THIS IS ONE OF A SEVERAL DIFFERENT MARKS USED BEFORE HIS NOW STANDARD OUTLINED HAND STAMP WITH A. IF YOU LOOK AT THIS RINGS HALLMARK (AMONG THE 12 PICS) A STYLIZED THIN HAND DEPICTION WITH THE LETTERS (A E T) BELOW AND HIS CONSISTANT 925 PURITY STAMP HE PREFERS TO THE MORE COMMONLY USED (AMONG NATIVE AMERICAN SILVERSMITHS) STERLING MARK.

AARON IS OF THE FIVE (5) FINGER CLAN AND I BELIEVE STILL LIVES ON THE RESERVATION AND WAS BORN AT FORT DEFIANCE IN 1958. THIS RING IS IN IT'S ORIGINAL BUILT CONDITION. NO WEAR EXIST FROM USE, NO SHANK DENTS OR BANGS TO THE BEZEL. THE PRODUCTION LOOKS A LITTLE BIT MORE PRIMITIVE THAN CURRENT PRODUCTION EXAMPLES BUT THAT IS THE MARKET. THE SILVERSMITHS HAVE HAD TO PUT ALOT MORE EFFORT INTO THE RING BUILD TO OFFSET A SCARCITY (AND SOARING EXPENSE) OF REALLY NICE DOMESTIC STONES, OR GO TO CHINESE AND MEXICAN STONES (WHICH CAN BE VERY BEAUTIFUL AS WELL).

THE RING SIZES TO ALMOST A SIZE 13.75 ON A HIGH QUALITY STEEL SIZING MANDREL. THE BEST FIT AFTER CLOSE MEASUREMENT WILL BE 13.5 AS LISTED. NORMALLY ONE HALF SMALLER THAN THE MANDREL FITTED SIZE WOULD BE REQUIRED BUT DUE TO THE RINGS DESIGN THERE IS SOME ROOM FOR FINGER EXPANSION. All weights and measurements are displayed in the pictures please feel free to ask questions. I do NOT SIZE nor do I recommend the sizing of this ring as it is in an original unaltered collectable condition.

THIS UNIQUE PREOWNED ESTATE CONDITION JEWELRY IS IN EXCELLANT PREOWNED CONDITION. HOWEVER THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT FLAWS IN THE POLISH OR FINISH CANNOT BE FOUND.
