This is an obviously handmade, dead pawn, vintage, turquoise, coral & silver ring that we purchased from a well known pawn trader in western New Mexico.

This size 7+3/4 ring weighs 21 grams and it measures 1+3/8" long.

As with most, vintage, Native American made jewelry there is no artist's hallmark nor any stamp indicating the purity of the silver.

State laws regulate what information pawn traders are allowed to give out, however we were told that this ring was made by a Navajo artist, probably during the 1950's or 1960's.

Despite it's age this wonderful old beauty is still in quite good vintage condition. The stones are set firmly in their bezels and are not cracked or chipped. The silver shows wear appropriate for it's age.

It can use some cleaning and polishing but we'll leave that for it's next owner to do. Our policy is that we never clean vintage jewelry as most collectors prefer to receive these older pieces "as is".
