Best! Navajo Pueblo Gorgeous Morenci Turquoise Ring Size 7 Sterling Silver .925

Description

Welcome!
Offered for your consideration, a rare and stunning ring with exceptional silver work and magnificent natural Morenci nugget stones, hand made in every respect with beautifully worked sterling silver. It was the stones that captured my attention, top quality as they are but it's matched by the top quality silver work. I am not sure of the artist because of a contradiction. The hallmark of GT is conjoined in the same manner that Griffin Tsabetsaye, Zuni, uses, but his hallmark includes a V underneath the GT for his wife. One might think he made this piece alone before that partnership developed, but the work is not similar to the work he has done since and the work looks Pueblo or Navajo. To compound the mystery, the work is so exceptionally good we should be aware of the artist and his or her hallmark. But I find no other hallmark for GT formed in this way other than Griffin Tsabetsaye. I'm reluctant to attribute to him without some corroboration however, so I'm not making the attribution till I get some attribution. Do let me know if you have some information.
The stone measures about 6-3/4 on the ring sizer but there's enough air that it is fair to call it a size 7. The face size is 1 1/16" long and the weight is significant, solid and heavy at 14.3 grams. These top quality Morenci stones are set in a scalloped bezel. It is unsigned for silver content which is usual for the older pieces but it is sterling silver. It is in great vintage, wearable and collectible condition. This is a truly stunning piece, which captures the imagination and the eye. It was certainly made by a great master. Breathtaking!
