Fabulous old-style Turquoise and Sterling Silver ring created by Navajo silversmith Robert Shakey. The ring features a turquoise stone with reddish-brown matrix. The stone is in perfect condition - those are not cracks, but rather natural parts of the turquoise. The stone is set in a simple straight bezel with a twist rope surrounding it. The setting is a fancy stamped beaded setting and the 4-way split ring shank.
The face of the ring measures a bit over 1-7/8 inch long by 1 inch wide . It weighs 21.1 grams and is a size 7-1/2. Brand new in perfect condition. It is stamped sterling and has Robert Shakey's hallmark. Certificate of Authenticity included and gift box included.
