Featured in this lot we have a Navajo Native American sterling silver ring set with Sleeping Beauty turquoise. The face of the ring shows vine and leaf patterns and silver drops surrounding the stone nuggets, as well as a large wolf head.

Beneath the artist's hallmark it reads, ".925". The ring shows good condition with no signs of damage present. The Sleeping Beauty turquoise cabochon measures 7/16" in diameter. The ring measures 1" L x 1 1/8" W x 1 1/4" H. The ring weighs 16.2 grams. The ring size is US 14.
