This is a truly remarkable ring for many reasons. It is of very early Navajo craftsmanship and design with its small light green Cerrillos turquoise set in a handmade bezel. The ring was constructed utilizing hand-hammered ingot silver with three very long split shank legs. The stamp work is of an early style, too, and it is found on the rectangular frame as well as the outermost shank portions. After what would appear to be decades upon decades of wear, some of the details are worn away. In fact, the entire ring shows immense wear in the best way possible. This ring has a great presence on the hand due to its size and shape. These very early examples rarely come to the market, so here is your chance to add this beautiful piece to your collection.
Excellent condition.
