On offer is an authentic, large handsome vintage NAVAJO hand wrought. 925 sterling silver Squash Blossom ring adorned with a natural hand-cut and polished oval shaped cabochon Turquoise stone, a silver leaf, fancy wire work and raindrops on a blackened ground. The brilliant southwestern sky blue stone is characteristic of turquoise from the Morenci mine region in Arizona. The ring is hallmarked with an incised stylized JK most likely for maker, which was quite common in NATIVE AMERICAN silver work prior to the 1970's. It tested positive for Sterling. We believe this ring was created circa 1960's or perhaps earlier.

This one of a kind ring was skillfully crafted with attention to detail in the NAVAJO tradition and is in very good vintage condition (please see ALL photos for an accurate detailed depiction). The natural southwestern brilliant sky blue hand-cut and polished cabochon Morenci Turquoise stone is in very good condition with no chips or cracks.

There are two tiny pits that are original to the stone. It is firmly and securely set in a smooth silver bezel. 1/2" long x 7/16" wide. Overall, the ring plaque measures approx. 1 1/2" long x 7/8" wide; the triple split shank is approx. 7/16" tapering to 1/8" wide. This NAVAJO ring will fit approx. It weighs 10.2 grams. This beautiful, classic vintage NAVAJO sterling silver and Morenci, Arizona Turquoise 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.
