1970s Navajo Sterling Silver & Number Eight Turquoise Ring, Size 7.5
A finely handcrafted Navajo sterling silver ring, circa 1970s, featuring an oval Number Eight turquoise cabochon bezel-set in a traditional Navajo mounting. The turquoise exhibits the mine’s classic robin’s-egg blue tone with fine brown and golden matrix. The stone is framed by a twisted rope border and accented with a chiseled feather and scroll motif.
This ring is unsigned, typical of authentic vintage Navajo work, and demonstrates careful balance and hand-fabricated detail. The split shank design ensures a comfortable fit, while the silver’s natural patina underscores its age and character.
From a private New Mexico collection of Navajo and Zuni jewelry, it represents the artistry and enduring appeal of mid-20th-century Southwest silversmithing.
Condition
Good condition with light surface wear and natural patina consistent with age. The turquoise is secure in its original bezel setting. Silver remains unpolished to preserve authenticity. No structural issues or visible repairs noted.
