Silver and Turquoise Circa 1910 Size 6 Face measures 13/16” by 7/16” Unsigned, as is common with these old pieces. Coin or higher in silver content.
The ring presented here has, for me, an iconic look with its narrow three-stone design and wide three-part split shank. In my opinion, this is the precursor to what would later be referred to by some as the “stoplight” ring, but the varying stone sizes and shapes as well as the robust construction put this on the earlier side of the equation. Noteworthy is the thick main plate that frames and mimics the varying shapes of the stones. This is a detail I quite like. The three-part split shank and band are also very thick and show wonderful craftsmanship details. The turquoise looks to be from the Kingman mine, which has been commercially mined since the 1880s. The white host rock in the center stone leads me to believe that it is Kingman.
