Vintage Navajo Native American Modernist Sterling Silver Turquoise Ring

  
This listing features a vintage Navajo modernist ring handcrafted from Sterling Silver and Turquoise. Handcrafted in the later-mid century, this vintage ring features a unique modernist design.

A carefully square cut turquoise stone is the focal point while sharp edges and contrasting lines make up an unusual silver shank. The stone portrays bright Caribbean blue color that transitions to green in one corner. A tall bezel wraps around the stone and sits on top of a silver rod that pushes up from the center of the shank. Just below the stone, on each side, are raised walls of silver coming up from the shank adding support. Deep valleys rest along each side of the shank before making a 45 degree downward bend.

There are six 45 degree bends along the outer shank making it a 6 sided hexagon. The inner shank is round and very comfortable when worn on the correct sized finger.

The ring is extremely solid and was made at the highest level of craftsmanship. While the silver has been tested and proves to be sterling, a sterling stamp resides along the inner shank. A well crafted Navajo piece in excellent condition. Enjoy this Navajo ring before handing it down to a loved one in the future. Ring Face Measurements - The ring face measures 3/8" tall by 5/8" wide, and sits on top of the finger at just under 1/2" high (7/16").

Stone Measurements - The stone measures 3/8" long by 3/8" wide and has depth/height of just under 1/4 (including the bezel). Shank Measurements - At bottom center the band is 5mm wide. The band gradually widens too 8mm where it meets the face on each side. The band is thick and sturdy measuring over 1/8 thick in some of the bends.

Signed by Artist - NO. Stamped Sterling - YES, tested and verified. Condition - Preowned, in excellent vintage condition with original stone and slightly aged patina, ready to wear or display. I treat every item as if it were my own. Extra bubble wrap and packing materials are used to ensure a safe arrival to its new owner.
