Gorgeous large natural unpolished Turquoise stone approximately 2 1/2" by 1 1/2". Look at the exquisite color transitions with many shades of blue and green. Genuine First Phase Navajo Jewelry definitely pre-1930's very early technique looks to be from 1910's or before. It has been in my family for over 70 years. Please note the marks from hand wrought tools, amazing tribal cravings on back of band and beautiful craquelure present in the silver in fact in the fourth photo you can clearly see the face from the silver ingot coin used produce this primative masterpiece. I tried to take a really clear up close photo of markings that I believe to be a signature in third photo. I have not been able to identify the artist please message me if you know. THE STORY OF THIS RING. My mother inherited a part of his collection when he passed away in 2000 and sadly when my mother passed away in 2014 she left them to me. I will be auctioning off the entire collection in the next week so please check back. Even amongst a marvelous collection this ring was something special. This was one of the first pieces he bought. It turned out to be by far the oldest and it was definitely his favorite. He wore it everyday for almost 50 years. Everything is authentic Old Pawn and has been in my family since the 1960's a couple are first phase/early transition, but nothing compares to this genuine historic relic.
