Vintage Navajo Modern BezelSetOnyx GoldFilledTop DoubleSilverBand Solitaire Ring
About the Item
This vintage Navajo modern minimal statement solitaire ring that was handmade by an unknown Native American features a sterling-bezel set black onyx cabochon on one end of a linear-textured yellow gold-filled asymmetrical narrow top, which spans nearly three fingers over a soldered silver double band. One band is US-size 8, the larger one is 8.5.
On the underside of the flat top, the zigzag mark of a lightning/bolt or snake/serpent may be an individual artist or that of a Native American trading post, which acquired such jewelry when members of the community pawned pieces when in need of goods or credit. Old Pawn jewelry was sold to outsiders only if the owner could not repay their loan.
Experts say that some circa-1945 Old Pawn pieces and those not made for the tourist trade often do not have the creator's initials. While it could have been made decades earlier, we suspect this ring was created between 1945-1979 because of the use of thinner metals.
