Native American Turquoise Red Coral Inlay Ring | vintage | old pawn? | 0.925
Unsure of the maker here-may be Hopi or Navajo tribal affiliation, but the mosaic inlay is also reflective of Zuni work... hard to say but definitely seems like the South West. It could be 'old pawn'—I'm a novice with a fair amount of research but not an expert. The piece is unsigned, another indicator that points to old pawn. The inlay tells a story, I'm not sure what, however it looks to be a desert scene with steps cut into the side of a butte, with a large sunset or sunrise. Perhaps the turquoise is water.
S P E C S :
- Unstamped but sold to me with a guarantee of .925 sterling
- Measurements: 36mm x 13.7mm
- Size 5 3/4 US / UK L. (This corresponds to an inside circumference of approx 51.2 mm)
- 4 grams
- Sale is for ring onl There are a lot of artists I could attribute this to but if anyone knows for sure, I'd love to know too!
NB: there is a tiny indentation top of ring, hard to see, doesn't detract.
THANK YOU
