    Description

    Welcome!
    This beautiful very old Navajo ring was impeccably designed with excellent detail. It is a high quality piece with decorative wire work and raindrops framing the bezel set natural Blue Gem Turquoise stone. Some of the Fred Harvey pieces were flimsy but this is solid, impeccably executed and designed, really beautiful. It was stored for decades and is in fabulous condition, though it has a nice age patina. The shank is chisel split into three toward the face for stability so the ring doesn't turn on the finger. It's also incised nicely. The size is 6-1/4 and the face size is 1" by 3/4" with a weight of 6.1 grams. There are no problems. It's unmarked for silver content but tests at least coin silver. It is not signed by artist which is typical for its age but the quality is very fine so you will see it was made by a very excellent silver smith. It has the most satisfying aesthetic appeal.

    Take a look at my store.
    Yes, I sometimes can take reasonable offers.
    I request payment by PayPal in two days, but planned in advance of purchase, alternate payment methods and time payments can generally be arranged.
    I generally ship same day. Domestic: FREE expedited US shipping. I’m including insurance on all my shipments till the PO resumes full functionality.
    International buyers pay actual shipping cost if I’m shipping myself rather than using eBay’s Global Shipping service, and International buyers are responsible for any customs fees their own countries may apply. Please discuss changing shipping method prior to purchase. My shipping defaults to Express International, which is tracked and insured, but I can use Priority Mail International. It's less expensive and is also tracked. First Class International is no longer offered by the US Postal Service. I charge the actual shipping cost and since shipping to each country costs a different amount, I will charge a little extra and refund the exact difference once I can put your address in and print a shipping label. I am no longer shipping to Italy and China, but can make exceptions if you speak with me about it, especially if you are a prior customer.
    Returns will be accepted for 30 days after your receipt for any reason and without question. Please let me know if you would like to return something. Returns must be in the same condition they were shipped. If I make a significant mistake in a listing I'll always give you a full refund.

    When I include pages from published books in my listings it is in accordance with Fair Use Law, which permits the use of source material for discussion, reference, education and criticism.
    Attributions on many of the old pieces of Native American jewelry are sometimes a moving target. All the books have errors, so in addition to counterchecking, I have developed some expertise over the years and I do care about getting it right, so as more information comes to light I update my listings and also get in touch with my previous buyers, to inform them of any changes in attributions. I am sincerely committed to ongoing accuracy.
    Everything I sell comes from my personal collection or is something that I would include in my personal collection. Most pieces are museum worthy and gallery suitable, sold to you at great pricing. I vet every item carefully for quality and condition, and offer you the best. I want you to be able to rely on me for top quality, superb items that are often unique and rare examples of old antique vintage southwest, indian, native american and fine gold and gemstones, whether you're starting a collection or adding to one, or want something great to wear or gift.
