Silver and Turquoise Circa 1930s, possibly a bit earlier Size 7.5 The face is roughly 3/4" square Unsigned, as is common with these old pieces. Coin or higher in silver content.
This stellar Navajo ring presents with four decidedly different square Turquoise stones, each with their own character and color differences and all bezel set. In the setting, there is fine twisted wire motif that goes around the stones and passes in between them. Additionally, there are twelve silver spheres in groups of three, one grouping on each side. The three-part split shank shows a handsome and restrained stamped motif. The overall design has an early Modernist or Art Deco look to it that is quite elegant. This ring is a nice example of a quality silversmithing and one that is far superior to the mass production that falls under the "Fred Harvey era" umbrella. While the stones do show an uneven surface, they are completely intact and under a loupe they do not appear to be fractured all the way through. They simply seem to have been left natural and not ground flat.
