    Description

    Welcome!
    I offer for your consideration a beautiful natural coral ring dating from mid century or earlier. It looks like it could be as early as the 1930s and it's Navajo made. It has a charm and delicacy, with two clusters of round coral at each end and a larger oval stone in the center, which is placed on a central plaque with twisted wire framing the plaque. Each stone is set in serrated bezel and the ring is entirely hand made with a split shank near the front for stability. This is quite a lovely old piece with each piece of coral matching the other. There's an extra bit of solder on one side that was probably always there, along with a few teeth of the bezel being shortened in that area. The overall condition is excellent vintage, wearable and collectible. Coral has become more valuable and it's rare to find such a nice ring with the simple and elegant aesthetic.
    Ring size is 6.5, face size is 1-5/16" x 7/16" and weight is about 3.8grams. Unmarked by the artist or for silver content which is usual but it's guaranteed to be at least coin at .900 and probably sterling silver at .925. Lovely ring, classic beauty!

    Yes, I sometimes can take reasonable offers.

    I generally ship same day. Domestic: FREE Priority shipping with Tracking always and Signature Confirmation included on shipments over 9.
    International buyers pay actual shipping cost if I’m shipping myself rather than using eBay’s Global Shipping service, and International buyers are responsible for any customs fees their own countries may apply.

It's less expensive and is also tracked. First Class International is no longer offered by the US Postal Service. I charge the actual shipping cost and since shipping to each country costs a different amount, I will charge a little extra and refund the exact difference once I can put your address in and print a shipping label. I am no longer shipping to Italy and China, but can make exceptions if you speak with me about it, especially if you are a prior customer.

    When I include pages from published books in my listings it is in accordance with Fair Use Law, which permits the use of source material for discussion, reference, education and criticism.
    Attributions on many of the old pieces of Native American jewelry are sometimes a moving target. All the books have errors, so in addition to counterchecking, I have developed some expertise over the years and I do care about getting it right, so as more information comes to light I update my listings and also get in touch with my previous buyers, to inform them of any changes in attributions. I am sincerely committed to ongoing accuracy.
