Up for sale is an exceptional piece of vintage Southwestern history. This authentic Native American "Old Pawn" ring features a heavy-gauge cast sterling silver setting weighing an impressive 16.4 grams, giving it a remarkably substantial, premium feel on the finger. The ring is masterfully adorned with a three-dimensional, hand-stamped silver snake wrapping along the side, complemented by hand-carved silver feather and leaf details. The face of the ring houses a vibrant slice of natural red branch coral alongside a striking, high-grade natural blue turquoise cabochon. Under microscope magnification, the turquoise reveals an incredible, deep sky-blue body beautifully contrasted by a unique, localized cloud of golden-yellow and light green natural matrix.
