Highly interesting vintage Native American ring:
~ Features an ambiguous figure or shape
~ Natural bright blue turquoise and inlaid coral design
~ Initially I thought it was a profile or silhouette of a Native American with a traditional head dress - but turned sideways it resembles a fish also .... so unique and open to individual interpretation of course
~ Wide chunky showy statement ring
~ Traditional men's styling - but certainly suitable with the smaller size for a boy, teenager, pinky ring, woman
~ This will get noticed and bound to quickly become a treasure in your collection
Ready and waiting for your finger, collection, special outfit, or gift giving - you will love this!

"A picture is worth a thousand words"
Please view & enlarge photographs to closely inspect fine details and to determine the amount of patina and/or wear. Most older pieces by nature normally have some degree of both and, unless severe, aren't considered damaged and not mentioned. Individuals do have varying levels of desire and tolerance for "vintage charm" so do utilize the scroll arrows beside the photos to allow yourself the opportunity to view them all, as they are an extension and integral part and of the description.
