HUGE RARE Vintage ZUNI Native American Sterling Silver Turquoise Inlay Ring OLD
This listing is for a rare vintage Zuni ring made from sterling silver and natural turquoise inlays. This ring is beautifully handcrafted with the classic Zuni hummingbird design and is in amazing vintage condition. It dates back as early as the 50s!! The face of the ring features inlays of bright blue green turquoise with one inlay having several spots of pyrite shining. There are a total of 17 stone inlays that lay flush against a neighboring channel of silver creating the end result of this large round bed of turquoise and silver. The face has a good thickness to it as well with the silver edge being smooth to the touch. Four solid sterling prongs wrap around the thick sides of the face, evenly spaced apart. The prongs are strong, solid, and securely hold the face of the ring with no movement at all. The four prongs are actually two curved silver rods as you can see from the back of the ring. As they reach the center they are forged with two silver circles which are the base for the band. All of the silver work on the back of the face makes for a stable and sturdy ring. The single shank band is in perfect round shape with no give whatsoever. This ring is made with a high quality silver that does not bend, even with force…. This Zuni made piece will make a great addition to your existing Native American collection or it could be the the perfect piece to start one. Cherish and enjoy this ring for now…. And hand it down to loved ones in the future. Size – 9.5. Weight – 13 Grams.
