Thank you Steve, much better with all the pics and a really nice ring too!
Nice ring, and @Steve, good find as usual. BTW theyāre not actually āArt Decoā era, more like 1950s-60s.
yeah, my art deco Navajoā¦no words tag was a face palm salute to another etsy sellers fantastical description 
@chicfarmer You touched on an online listing gaffe that always makes me chuckle. Twice Iāve seen listings for a sterling silver turquoise ring described as āa 1920s Art Deco Navajo ringā. Art Deco, um, nope.
I love this ring, not for itās beauty alone, but because it was given by a good friend who had spent time down there and found it with a metal detector. The fact it has a pair is cool, wish I had bought it.in fact Iām going to try and make one with some rare Iberian turquoise I discovered. The turquoise it would seem is linked to the ancient Iberian warrior tribes who lived here in pre-roman times. A piece of the turquoise is possibly in a museum piece of Tartessian era, a golden diadem about 2600 yrs old. Supposedly there is an as yet undiscovered golden temple in the mountain.
Tom, in my opinion both rings stand out for having a mass Indian jewelry supply ālookā but possibly being made by the same hand.
Your ring has the added factors of how it came to you.
The side banter here touches on a few other threads here in the forum that highlight sellers wild descriptions and claims and certainly not on the quality or style of your ring
Thanks Steve. Does the fact of not having hallmark mean the maker didnāt bother? Or that some artists did, others didnāt use marks? Or that before certain year it wasnāt practise?
I appreciate your help.
the long answer to your question takes up a dozen or so pages in Bille Hougarts book on identifying hallmarks, both artist and shops.
1936, in an era when few Indian handcrafted silver items were identifiable by a stamp or other mark.
Up to, and shortly after, World War II most ājewelry-makers remained anonymous craftsmen
to the majority of non-native consumers"

Iām confused, you said āhereā when discussing the Iberian turquoise. Is that where you live? Is that Spain? Or am I misunderstanding.
Yes. I live in the deep heart of the interior of what is now Portugal.
So cool!! Welcome to the site!! Iāve never been overseas, but where you live looks beautiful.
So your friend found the ring in Portugal? Itās lovely. I might have to Google some more to learn about the history of your area.
Edit: I just reread your title, he found it in the southwest. Guess I should read more closely 
No my friend worked there in the south west for many yrs. Many Portuguese work abroad. They discovered Brazil. He worked there. I am a āturquoise personā, as I found turquoise here and became fascinated by it. So his ring means a lot to me.
This part of Iberia is quite arid.
Now Iām curious. Are you located in Extremadura?
Yes. The Extremadura of Spain meets with Portugal. Itās where I live.
