It is also stamped " 925 " and guaranteed that the silver of this ring has been properly and safely tested as 100% Sterling Silver. 925 it still has some dark patina due to age.... The sterling needs Polishing of course.... Throughout our Indian lands the trading posts serve also as pawn shops with the trader usually involved in an earthy form of banking business - part of the process known as pawning...... Most Hopi, Zuni and Navajo reservation Indians (The BIG Three) and many other Traders converted their turquoise and silver jewelry into cash....... At times the trading post vault is the safest place in which to keep valuables........ In this case the Native American pawns their items for a minimum loan of cash and is happy to pay the interest rate in return for the security of his goods......
