The natural southwestern sky blue hand-cut and polished cabochon Morenci Turquoise stone is in very good condition with no chips or cracks. It is firmly and securely set in a serrated silver bezel.

1/2" tapering to 3/16" wide. This NAVAJO ring will fit approx. It weighs 9.3 grams.

This handsome, classic vintage NAVAJO. 925 sterling silver and Morenci, Arizona Turquoise stone ring crafted by a skilled artisan would make an outstanding addition to any Twentieth Century Native American Silver and Stone Jewelry, American Turquoise or Historic American Cultural Arts and Crafts collection. We have been involved in the design and creation of contemporary jewelry at the undergraduate and post graduate level since 1967. In 1975 we opened a gallery of hand wrought fine art contemporary jewels and have since handled thousands of unique, one of a kind and limited edition pieces crafted predominantly by American artisans with a special emphasis on Native American Art. Will be determined upon request.

We believe our photos and description to be an accurate testament. Thus, ALL SALES ARE FINAL.

Thanks for looking and good luck.
