    Very beautiful statement ring, this beauty, is one of many. I will be posting a lot of strange and unusual (strange and unusual to me) sterling and turquoise jewelry over the next few months. I do not know if this is Navajo made. I put Navajo in the title because it appears to me to be similar to their work. They are renowned for their jewelry and design, so I mean no disrespect if this is not one of their pieces. I do not know the age of this piece, so I do not know if this was ever pawned in days of "old". Quite frankly, I have a ton of pieces, some are signed, others have what looks like hieroglyphics, others are unmarked. I dont know much about any of them. I tried looking up the makers mark, but that was ridiculous, I dont know how anyone finds anything on these makers mark web pages. I have been in the silver industry for a substantial amount of time, and I know how to check for plastic, dyed, and generally glass.. although the hardness test I am still perfecting. If any item is not as described, I will ofcourse issue full refund, including shipping.. I realize that my opinion on this jewelry, is just that, my opinion. The rings are sterling purity, 925/1000 and that is not an opinion, but rather a discovery after vigorous testing.
    I will try to capture any marks in the picures, fortunately I am blessed to have a camera that can take decent closeups. I make a video of each piece, showing the testing, packaging and shipping.

    Never a reserve
    These pieces are selling for pennies on the dollar,  I am glad, content that folks are getting great deals. When these are gone, they're gone. The journey however, never ends.
    Sales are final. I've had a myriad of potential buyers contact me during and after auctions to make deals, more often than not, offering to pay a substantial amount more than the current highest bidder, and even after the winning bid is decided, ask me to cancel sales. Repost with "buy it now" etc. I appreciate each and every person interested in these pieces, however, I will not stop an auction once started for any amount of money. my personal integrity matters more than any dollar amount. If you win one of my items for a dollar, you will be congratulated, and your item will be sent first class. I refuse to cancel a transaction just because I know an item is worth substantially more. The better deals folks get, the more often they return the better deals we all get, also, I have no idea what these are worth, and it is intersting to see what the Ebay community thinks...  learning is more than just passing time... so, that said...
    Thankyou for choosing Ebay, and as always thanks for shopping by... 💙
