Vintage 1970s Southwest Handmade Sterling Silver Turquoise Ring. Offered here is a substantial vintage Southwest sterling silver turquoise ring in classic 1970s Navajo style. This piece features a beautifully cut natural turquoise stone set in a traditional saw tooth bezel, surrounded by hand-applied silver work including rope twist, leaf accents, and raindrop details. The craftsmanship reflects mid-century to late-20th century Navajo silversmith tradition – bold, balanced, and built to last. The stone displays rich blue-green color with natural dark matrix, giving it strong character and authentic Southwestern presence. This ring has been tested and confirmed sterling silver (non-magnetic). The turquoise displays natural matrix characteristics and coloration consistent with genuine stone. Ring Size: 9.5. Stone: Natural turquoise (not synthetic). Construction: Hand-fabricated sterling silver. Era: Circa 1970s Southwest. Weight: (add grams here if you provide it – important for buyers). This is not a lightweight tourist piece. It has the feel and build of traditional Navajo bench work from the 1970s era – solid silver, dimensional design, and classic materials. No maker’s mark is present, which is common for many vintage handmade Navajo rings of this period. Very good vintage condition. Natural patina consistent with age. Stone secure in bezel. Why This Ring Stands Out. Strong traditional Navajo design elements. Natural turquoise with attractive matrix. Solid sterling construction. Classic 1970s Southwest aesthetic. Comfortable and wearable statement size. Perfect for collectors of Native American jewelry, vintage Southwest style, or those who appreciate handcrafted sterling silver. Carefully packed and fully insured.
