This is a great Vintage Native American Southwest Southwestern Sterling Silver and Turquoise Ring measuring approx. 1 1/4" at its widest, and although not marked as to silver content, I will guarantee that this ring is STERLING SILVER. This ring is a size 10 1/2. Very nice collectible piece, and all handmade.
remember that anything handmade is not perfect. There may be some flaws, mostly from manufacture, and possibly from age. I will try to note anything that I see as a major flaw.

Please NOTE, I do not clean any of the jewelry as some collectors prefer to leave the original patina on the piece.
Coin Silver is used a lot in the making of jewelry, especially Native American pieces.
Coin Silver is 800 parts to 1000, ie 800/1000 pure silver, whereas Sterling Silver is 925 parts to 1000, ie 925/1000 pure silver.
