This listing is for a vintage Les Baker Shop, Navajo crafted ring made with Sterling Silver and Turquoise.
NOTE: Please view all 20 photos…last 5 photos show ring on a larger hand.
This vintage ring is a gorgeous example of authentic later-mid century Navajo jewelry. It features a stunning Kingman Turquoise stone with a unique curvy shape. The stone domes out of tall scalloped bezel followed by highly detailed silver work while rows of blueish green Heishi shells sit tucked below the ring face, inlaid in a thick bed of silver. Wow!! What an incredible and beautiful piece!!! And I forgot to mention the dense rich blue color of the main stone with flakes of shimmering pyrite over waterweb matrixes. It’s a gorgeous ring in beautiful condition.
The ring face is supported by a hand etched split shank in perfect round shape. A signature is present along with a sterling mark. The silver has been tested and we guarantee its purity of .925 sterling.
