This early Navajo cast ring is truly a standout with its bezel set marquise Turquoise. The bezel is of an early type, a bit thick and crude, while still being beautifully executed. The ring has a four-part shank that creates great presence for the wearer. A ring of the same type is shown in a famous book on southwest Native American jewelry and I have made reference to that below.
Reference: Indian Silver Jewelry of the Southwest 1868-1930, Frank and Holbrook, p. 200 shows a ring of the same type.
