This 1920s-period silver and turquoise ring features elaborate designs made with the buying public in mind. On each side of the ring is a coiled snake in raised silver. On the bottom of the band are two stamped "whirling logs" or swastikas. One of these is worn partially away—a good indication of many years of having been worn.
A beautiful dark green turquoise gemstone is mounted on top of the ring, secured within a silver bezel. This is a very collectible item of early Navajo jewelry.
Condition: very good condition with wear pattern to band
Provenance: this Silver and Turquoise Ring with Snakes and Whirling Log Designs is from a private collection
