Just purchased this ring. Seller states it is Navajo and the turquoise stones are Kingman along with the small coral stone. Says she has had it for around 35 years. No hallmark but marked sterling 925. Lots of appliqué work with swirls, feathers, flowers and beading. Any opinions??? Does the age and it being Navajo seem correct?

Gosh, I’m just not sure about this one. I would guess Kingman turquoise, but I’m always a little leery about the 925 mark when there’s no artist hallmark. Hopefully somebody else will jump in!

My 2 cents worth: The “wear” on the setting reminds me of a southeast Asian influence casting to imply age. The flower with coral does not look like NA to me. However, it does seem to have NA type elements. Not sure on this one.

Do you know what the cream colored item is? Tooth? Bone?
She wasn’t sure and neither am I.

I really like your new ring. Beautiful turquoise! It looks to be in excellent condition, too, which I don’t always see in vintage turquoise jewelry. It’s meant to be when a ring fits perfectly

Certainly looks like a large canine (fang) tooth from a large dog or wolf?..
