Description

Vintage Zuni Sterling Silver Ring with Turquoise Cabochons, Size 5.25

A vintage Zuni sterling silver ring featuring four natural turquoise cabochons, each approximately 3.8 mm, set in hand-cut sawtooth bezels. The stones are arranged in a compact cluster formation accented with silver raindrop beads, a classic design element of Zuni silversmithing. The cabochons are evenly sized and carefully matched, reflecting the Zuni reputation for meticulous stonework.

Unmarked but tested as sterling, this ring dates to the mid-20th century, before hallmarking became common practice. Its modest size suggests it was crafted as a woman’s or youth ring, with a simple band and light weight suited for everyday wear. An excellent example of traditional Zuni craftsmanship, showcasing the artistry and elegance of Southwestern Native American jewelry.

Condition:
Good vintage condition, with stones secure in their settings. Light surface wear and natural oxidation consistent with age and use. Polishing is left to the buyer’s discretion.

  • U.S. Ring Size: 5.25
  • Rise: .13"
  • Overall: .81" x .73" x .25"
  • Stones: (4) turquoise cabochons, approx. 3.8 mm each
  • Weight: 2.21 g
