L.S. Benally Navajo Sterling Ring w/ Turquoise & Coral, Size 8
This vintage Navajo sterling silver ring, signed L.S. Benally, is a fine example of traditional Southwestern jewelry design. The elongated oval face features two bezel-set cabochons: a natural turquoise stone (approx. 10.13 x 7.12 x 4.75 mm) and a contrasting coral cabochon (approx. 10.84 x 5.69 x 2.23 mm). Surrounding the stones are classic Navajo silverwork details, including a twisted rope border and stamped accents, all supported by a sturdy split-shank band. Weighing 9.43 grams, this ring embodies balance, symbolism, and craftsmanship—turquoise representing protection and the sky, coral symbolizing life and the sea.
L.S. Benally is part of the extended Benally family name, associated with Navajo silversmithing traditions. While less frequently documented than artists such as Chester or Ernest Benally, pieces signed “L. Benally” are recognized in Native American jewelry hallmark guides and reflect authentic, artisan-made work from the mid-to-late 20th century. Collectors of Navajo jewelry and admirers of bold statement rings will find this a distinctive and meaningful piece.
