About Bell Trading Post: Founded in Albuquerque, New Mexico in the 1930s, Bell Trading Post became one of the most iconic makers of Southwestern silver jewelry. Their pieces were inspired by Navajo and Zuni silversmithing traditions, known for beautiful turquoise settings, oxidized silver, and handcrafted detailing. The hallmark on this ring—a small bell symbol alongside the word “STERLING”—dates it to around the 1950s–60s, representing the classic era of mid-century Southwestern design.
