Description

R&GT Zuni/Mexican Sterling Cobblestone Inlay Ring – Turquoise, Coral & Spiny Oyster, Sz 11

Signed R&GT for Richard & Geneva Terrazas, this Zuni/Mexican cobblestone inlay ring is a vibrant example of mid-20th century Southwestern artistry. The oval face is set with hand-cut stones including turquoise, red coral, spiny oyster shell, and mother of pearl, each precisely fitted in the raised “cobble” inlay technique for which the Terrazas are known. This husband-and-wife team blended Zuni and Mexican influences, producing highly collectible jewelry that remains sought after today.

The ring weighs 10.41 grams and measures approximately 1.11" x 0.89" x 0.85" overall, with a face of .83" x .46" and a rise of .23". Currently a size 11, the solid sterling band may be resized by a jeweler if desired. A bold and colorful statement piece, this example compares favorably with rings offered by Medicine Man Gallery and other specialist dealers, making it a strong choice for collectors of Native American inlay jewelry.

Condition:
Good vintage condition. Stones are secure and intact with only light wear consistent with age. Silver band and setting show natural patina, left unpolished for buyer preference. Structurally sound and ready for wear or display.

Dimensions:

  • Weight: 10.41 grams
  • Size: 11 (resizeable by jeweler)
  • Overall: 1.11" x 0.89" x 0.85"
  • Rise: 0.23"
  • Face: .83" x .46"
