Would love to identify this ring. Anyone?

Post by svnone3rd »

Hi,

I am new in the way of silver jewelry and on a trip to an antique store in another city I came across this really awesome ring. The only thing the lady who sold it to me was the stones where malachite and the metal was sterling silver. She could not tell me the age. I tried doing research on Internet but couldn't find anything. Can anyone give me at least an estimate on when they think the ring was made? I'm so sorry I don't have much information. I appreciate anyone's input. There is a letter "H" stamped on the inside and under that the word "Sterling" but the top half of the word is worn off. Thank you so much.

Hi ~ welcome to the forums.

It's Navajo, fairly recent, most likely by Harrison Yazzie - someone else with better references might be able to confirm...

It could have a bit of age to it, pinning the maker down will give a date range, and Navajo silver is collected...
