Embrace timeless Southwestern charm with this stunning vintage oval turquoise ring. Handcrafted by Navajo artisans, likely in the 1960s, this sterling silver piece features a captivating oval turquoise stone, which appears to be Kingman Turquoise, with a natural matrix (or spiderweb) design. The stone is securely held by a classic sawtooth bezel and framed by an elegant rope border, adding to its authentic vintage appeal. A comfortable split shank band completes this beautiful and unique ring.
