Vintage Navajo Sterling Silver Ring with Number 8 Turquoise, Size 8
Vintage Navajo sterling silver ring featuring a large natural Number 8 turquoise cabochon from the famous Nevada mine. The stone, measuring 32.21 x 22.66 mm, exhibits a sky-blue field with warm golden-brown matrix, characteristic of this highly sought-after variety. The cabochon is bezel-set and framed with hand-tooled silverwork, including a feather motif, rope-twist border, and applied silver beads. A sturdy double shank completes the design, balancing the bold setting.
Weighing 16.61 grams, the ring measures 1.01 x 1.36 x 1.74 inches overall, rising .26 inches off the finger. Number 8 turquoise has been prized by collectors since the mine’s closure in 1976, and examples of this size and quality are increasingly scarce. This ring represents both wearable art and collectible heritage, ideal for serious Southwest jewelry enthusiasts.
