NAVAJO FRED HARVEY TURQUOISE SILVER PINKY RING 1940'S TUCSON ESTATE

Description: Consigned by a friend and from a Tucson Country Club estate is this I believe 1940's or so Navajo Fred Harvey style silver ring. The obviously vintage ornament features an 11mm green turquoise centerpiece and old style stamp work to the shank (as someone once said, a good thing). Clearly a poster child of the classic southwestern jewelry meant for period visitors, the distinctive 1930's / 1940's aesthetic contributes greatly to its visual appeal - absolutely no mistaking this for anything recent. There are no maker indications (which is of course exactly as normal for the time of making), though it greatly resembles some of the early Bell Trading Post rings. Whatever your thoughts in that regard - If you missed your chance in Santa Fe, this may mend that broken heart. Weight is good for the form at about 5.4 grams on my portable digital scale. Condition is quite fine with a nice aura of time to the silver surfaces. Be aware I have avoided every urge to refresh away or improve upon any natural toning - you want that done you do it. I see no evidence of any subsequent size alterations. All typical and expected signs of previous service simply validate the history, including being stored away for seven or eight decades). A look at those pics should give a good idea of appearance and condition. Size is at least 4 1/4 and perhaps 4 1/2 on my jeweler's ring mandrel (the bottom edge of the shank will reach the 4 1/4 line on the mandrel with some extra room showing)) . About 5/8 in. vertical at the front - so yes it will be noticed. If you prefer a genuinely vintage southwestern look over things more recent, or simply wish a single immediate improvement to the ambiance of each day, this will have great meaning for you.inkfrog terapeak
