Navajo rings of this age are increasingly difficult to find on the marketplace. We are pleased to be able to offer this ring for sale.
This particular turquoise stone is really interesting, with what appears to be mother-of-pearl in the stone.
The Navajo did not begin adding tones to their jewelry until approximately 1900. The artist was usually working in a relatively isolated location, using hand-made tools. He fired over a fire of his own making rather than a formal kiln like is available in today's world.
*Rings such as this can usually be sized to fit. Please contact our gallery to discuss this further.
