Silver and Turquoise Circa 1910 Size 7 Face measures 3/4" by 5/8" Unsigned, as is common with these old pieces. Coin or higher in silver content.
This early Navajo ring is truly a standout with its bezel set marquise Turquoise flanked by two silver spheres and framed with fine metal work. The bezel is of the earlier type, a bit thick and crude, while still being beautifully executed. The ring has a four-part split shank that creates the frame of the piece. This ring 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.
