EARLY VINTAGE NAVAJO STERLING SILVER LARGE FINE KINGMAN TURQUOISE RING sz9.5

  
On offer is an authentic, traditional vintage NAVAJO hand wrought. 925 sterling silver ring adorned with a beautiful natural hand cut and polished desert southwestern sky blue cabochon turquoise stone from the Kingman mine region of Arizona. This ring is not hallmarked which was quite common in earlier Native American jewelry. We believe this ring was created circa 1950 or perhaps earlier. This fine, handsome ring was skillfully executed with attention to detail in the NAVAJO way and is in very good vintage condition (see ALL photos for an accurate detailed depiction).

The double split shank ring is adorned with a fancy plaque decorated with silver raindrops and wire work that frame the hand cut and polished natural southwestern desert sky blue turquoise cabochon stone. The stone is in very good condition with no chips or cracks (the line in photos is a matrix line not a crack) and is securely set in a smooth silver bezel. It has the classic golden brown matrix and measures approx. 1 14" long x 7/8" wide.

The ring's band measures approx. 1/4" tapering to 3/16" wide. This NAVAJO ring will fit approx. Size 9.5 and weighs 12.3 grams.

925 sterling silver and natural Kingman turquoise ring would make a classic addition to any Twentieth Century Native American Silver and Stone Jewelry, Southwestern American Turquoise or Historic Cultural Arts and Crafts collection. We have been involved in the design and creation of contemporary jewelry at the undergraduate and post graduate level since 1967.

In 1975 we opened a gallery of hand wrought fine art contemporary jewels and have since handled thousands of unique, one of a kind and limited edition pieces crafted predominantly by American artisans with a special emphasis on Native American Art. Will be determined upon request. We believe our photos and description to be an accurate testament. Thus, ALL SALES ARE FINAL. Therefore, in the event that we have made an error and you can describe that error to us.
