HUGE LONG Vintage ZUNI Native American Sterling Silver Inlay Ring RARE
This listing is for a handcrafted Zuni ring, made of sterling silver and natural lapis inlays. The face features two flower like sections of inlaid lapis with a long swirling rope accompanied by rows of silver droplets. The gem grade inlays are a deep dark blue with very little matrix. They bulge out of their settings just a tad and have thin silver channels running between them. The bezels are thick and deep giving the ring a sturdier feel and look. This handcrafted ring is large, delicate, rare, unique, gorgeous, and in excellent vintage condition. A MUST HAVE FOR ANY AVID COLLECTOR! The back of the ring carries a sterling stamp as well as a ZUNI stamp, and the artists initials of GSA or possibly GAS. The band is sturdy and made from two shanks fused together. The band splits open, widening nearly an inch, and connects to the back of each floral inlay section. The band is in perfect round shape.
