Older 19-stone Navajo size-8 turquoise cluster ring. #2476

This ring just underwent a big transformation.  All the Sterling, front and back, was almost black with tarnish.  It was old before we acquired out of a box of old stuff in a New Mexico trading post many years ago.  We dreaded cleaning it so it was placed into a box or our own old stuff.  The Drifter recently tackled the cleaning process—and it took awhile.  Wal-la—'looks like new!  Well, 'kinda.  That ship has sailed with this old gal.  She's always 'gonna have the look of yesteryears' Native jewelry.  We're not going to label it "vintage" 'cuz we can't guarantee it was made prior to the seventies (the true standard of 'vintage' Native American jewelry).  And those Kingman turquoise stones look too healthy to be over a half-century old.  The face of this beauty is 1 and 7/8th's-inches, and it is 1 and 1/8th-inches across the middle.  It has a gentle lengthwise curvature so as to conform better to one's finger—a nice touch.  Weight is 10.4-grams, or .37-ounces.  Hallmarked underneath on the very tip in what appears to be "JONES" right above the word, "STERLING."  Complimentary USPS tracked Priority shipping within the U.S.
