1970's Navajo -Hand Fabricated- Italian Coral/ Turquoise Beautifully Designed Applique- 925 Ring-Size 6-1/4
What I love about this ring is the obvious hand work in it, where you can see how each & every piece was taken the time to create the ring.It is very signature 1970's when leaf work was at it's height.
It seems the artist laid the stones 1st & then decided what design was best to accentuate their beauty.This was common back then as it is now,with artisan made work.Even the bezels are hand made.
The shank is made of a 3 wire spread to accommodate the face size of the ring.
It has developed patina over the years & is pretty dark..I will send it as is,since I do not believe in polishing vintage pieces.
