I dug this ring out of a box of old jewelry - I bought it a long time ago, before I started really being interested in native jewelry and turquoise. It appears to be native-made to me, but is this turquoise or some other stone? The colors are a little more muted than they appear in the pics.

@edidfly Super nice ring! My 2 cents worth is that it’s turquoise. Beautiful cab. Not so sure about the ring being Native American made, though. It’s that triple band that gives me pause. Many of my turquoise rings with that style band are artisan made - purchased from the silversmiths. Just something to consider.

I also agree that it looks like turquoise. I have a number of Navajo rings with triple bands, but they either have hallmarks or I bought them on the reservation. Minus a hallmark or not having purchased the ring from a legit place, there is probably no way to know for sure if it’s Native made, especially since the three band style isn’t as common.

This is Turquoise, and looks natural. Nice ring!

I hadn’t thought about the triple band - and I honestly can’t remember where I got it. With this one I’m happy that yall think it’s turquoise, that was the main thing! Any speculation about what type turquoise?

@edidfly Take this with a big grain of salt but, I wouldn’t be surprised if this is Green Royston turquoise. (In the least, I’d consider it green turquoise from the Southwest.)
