Vintage Navajo Sterling Silver Turquoise Bypass Ring – 1950s–1970s - Size 4.75
A beautifully handcrafted Native American ring featuring two pear-shaped turquoise cabochons set in sawtooth bezels on a classic bypass band. Made from solid sterling silver (2.2g), this mid-century piece reflects the flowing, organic lines of traditional Navajo silversmithing. Natural turquoise stones show unique matrix variation, set in a fluid wrap design. Sourced from a Southwest estate auction. Unmarked but tests as sterling. Please note there is a slight gap between one cabochon and the bezel setting due to cleaning and restoration.
The two turquoise cabochons are likely sourced from Arizona’s historic Kingman Mine, renowned for its vivid sky-blue hue and rich, earthy matrix. Each pear-shaped stone features natural veining and color variation that highlights the organic beauty of Southwest turquoise. This distinct matrix pattern—ranging from warm brown to speckled black—adds depth and authenticity, typical of Kingman turquoise used in mid-century Navajo jewelry.
