This is a new-vintage, old-stock Native American turquoise ring. Made of sterling silver, this ring is sized at an 8. It is signed on the outside of the band, but I can't make out one of the letters. I know one is a "k". The blue of this turquoise is gorgeous!! We have left the original patina on the silver. Total weight of the ring is 9.1grams/5.8dwt.
This jewelry is not pre-owned, which also means that it is not used. It is new but may look pre-owned because of the natural toning/patina it has taken on in storage in the last 16 years. It is normal for silver to take on a color after being exposed to the air for some time. Rather than polish it up, we are leaving it as untouched nostalgia. The buyer can decide if they would like to polish it up. Some of it actually has the old black magic marker pricing written on the underside still. We bought a large coin collection from a client here at our brick and mortar coin and jewelry shop and along with it was all of this amazing beautiful turquoise jewelry. His parents used to have a retail shop and both shared such a love for this stuff. So, there’s the story about this collection. We hope you enjoy looking at all of it. It truly is amazing!
