A massive vintage sterling silver ring with turquoise, coral, and bold raised Southwest style details. This substantial ring has an oval platform setting with bezel set turquoise and coral cabochons, raised silver beadwork, fan shaped applied accents, and deeply oxidized recessed areas that bring out the dimensional design. The heavy 18 gram weight gives the ring a strong presence on the hand, while the oval top creates the look of a small sculptural panel. The ring has the feel of old pawn Southwestern jewelry, with a dramatic blackened background and hand finished silver details. It is not signed, so it is described as old pawn style rather than attributed to a specific artist or tribe. ————————————— Details Era/Style: Vintage, Old Pawn Style, Southwestern Material: Sterling Silver Stones: Turquoise and Coral Marks: unsigned, metal carefully tested Ring Size: 6 Design: Oval platform ring with raised silver details Head Measurement: 1 inch by 3/4 inch, approximately 25mm by 20mm Band Width: 3/16 inch, approximately 5mm at the bottom Weight: Approximately 18 grams Condition: Vintage condition with patina and wear consistent with age A bold sterling silver turquoise and coral ring with substantial weight, dramatic patina, and a powerful Southwest statement look.
