Description: Insured U.S.P.S. Priority Mail shipping within the U.S.A. is FREE! On offer is an authentic, vintage NAVAJO hand wrought .900 - .925 sterling silver ring adorned with a fine hand cut and polished southwest desert natural petrified agatized wood oval shaped cabochon stone. The ring is decorated with classic fancy eye dazzler hand stamping on the applied side plaquettes and texturing on the front plaque. This classic Navajo ring is approx. size 5. This ring is not hallmarked which was quite common in earlier Native American jewelry prior to the 1970's. We believe this fine piece was created circa 1950 or perhaps earlier. This ring was skillfully crafted in the traditional old NAVAJO technique with attention to detail and is in very good vintage condition, any white marks or spots are lighting reflections and not flaws (please see ALL photos for an accurate detailed depiction). It tested positive for sterling silver. The beautiful, subtle desert hue petrified wood stone is in very good vintage condition with no chips or cracks. The color is mostly pale to charcoal gray with orange accents on a translucent ground. The gem quality stone is firmly and securely set in a serrated silver bezel on a textured silver plaque. The stone measures approx. 5/8" long x 1/2" wide. The ring plaque is approx 3/4" long x 5/8" wide. The band is approx. 5/16+" tapering to 1/8+" wide. The ring weighs 5 grams - .160ounce. It will fit approx. size 5. This traditional, well crafted vintage NAVAJO .900 - .925 Sterling Silver and Natural Southwest Petrified Agatized Wood ring created by a skilled Navajo artisan would make an outstanding addition to any Twentieth Century Native American Silver and Stone Jewelry, Southwest American Petrified Wood or Historic American Cultural Arts and Crafts collection.

In 1975 we opened a gallery of hand wrought fine art contemporary jewels and have since handled thousands of unique, one of a kind and limited edition pieces crafted predominantly by American artisans with a special emphasis on Native American Art. *********************************************** *********************************************** Shipping via U.S.P.S.
