These are vintage unsigned Native American (I believe) rings from an estate. One has a crushed turquoise inlay with 1" oval top and is a size 11-1/2". The other has both crushed turquoise and coral and is a size 10-1/2. Neither of these is marked but both are sterling and in very good condition.

They have been fashioned from materials varying from gold and diamonds to cigar bands each seeking its own importance and place on an owners finger. We hope you will enjoy browsing and find one for your finger here. Be sure to Check Our Our Other Rings in the Main Catalog and our Past Traditions Gallery Selections .

Native American jewelry combines cultural, religious and the beauty of nature to produce some of the most beautiful silver jewelry in the world. Many tribes produced jewelry and each reflected their own personal culture. Choctaw, Seneca and Iroquois were among the earliest artists and were joined by the Navajo, Hopi and Zuni in the 20th century. One of the best resouces I have found is "Silver Jewelry Identification and Value Guide" by Fred Rezazadeh. Always buy Native American jewelry from a reputable dealer .
