Vintage Sterling Silver SW Turquoise Cluster Ring, Size 9.25

Description

Welcome to
Antiques & Moore!
This listing is for a lovely vintage mid-Century Zuni Sterling Silver ring with turquoise cluster work design, size 9.25. The silver is decorated with seven bezel set turquoise stones with colors ranging from a slightly greenish tone to pure turquoise with each stone having notable matrix. The stones are bezel set and are raised above the darkened background and are separated with raised silver decoration. The band has a solid back with the band split into two bands where it attaches to the top. The silver is hand made and stamped with unidentified maker's initials "D C". Although unmarked for silver content, ring tests to be Sterling Silver. Please note that we have a coordinating cuff bracelet to this ring listed separately.
The top of ring measures 1 3/8" long (North to South) and 1 1/16" at widest (East to West). Stones vary slightly in size and have slightly irregular shapes. Weighs 15 grams.
This lovely ring is in excellent Estate condition with no noted flaws or damage although it does reflect minor signs of light wear. We have not polished the silver and it has nice original patina.
This lovely hand-made ring lays flat against the fingers and although it is large, it is very comfortable to wear.  I have collected vintage and contemporary turquoise and silver items since my first visit in the 1960's to the Old Town Market in Albuquerque NM. I still can't help myself when the opportunity arises to purchase wonderful Native American Silver and Turquoise jewelry pieces such as this impressive buckle. The ring was purchased by the previous owner in the 1970's in Santa Fe MN.
