Diné (Navajo) Sterling Silver and Turquoise Ring [SOLD]

This exceptional ring appears to be from the first half of the 20^th century and I believe the turquoise is Blue Gem. The stone is slightly domed and set in a silver bezel which is surrounded by a floral-like design in silver. The shank is split into three prongs near the base of the ring and is stamped just below where the split branches off.

The ring is quite exceptional and in very good condition.
