This early Navajo ring features a beautiful square Turquoise stone that shows areas of both green and blue making for a delightful appearance. The stone is bezel set and, as expected on these early pieces, the setting is a bit crude. With that, the stone is secure. The stone is then framed by a fine beaded line and is flanked by six silver spheres, three on either side. The shank is of the three-part split type. Overall, this ring has a wonderful, dark patina that only serves to underscore its beauty and age.
