Offered in this lot we have a collection of Navajo Native American old pawn sterling silver rings. The set consists of four sterling silver rings. The first of the rings is made entirely of silver and shows craved geometric patters across the face of the ring. The second piece shows a cabochon of Carico lake turquoise with a twisted silver border and ornamentation. The third ring shows a piece of sleeping beauty turquoise with a piece of red coral to each side and a band of twisted silver running the diameter of the ring. The fourth and final ring shows three pieces of Carico lake turquoise accented by silver rope and droplets. The rings are in good condition overall and show a warm patina.
