Vintage Navajo Sterling Silver Ring Eagle Size 8 1/4 For Sale

Old Pawn Jewelry dates from the early 1900s to the 1970s. Most of it is not signed because it wasn't the Native American tradition to sign the pieces they crafted. Most of the pieces have turquoise that you can't get anymore because the mines have closed. Also, the red and orange coral is rare because of the coral bleaching which is happening today. Many of these pieces were pawned. The Indian would pawn his jewelry with the shop that would hold it and charge interest until he could relaim it. Dead pawn are the pieces that were never retrieved. Throughout the 40 years that we have been in business, we have purchased jewelry from many pawn shops throughout the Southwest that had collections of dead pawn. Most of these pawn shops and trading posts are now closed.
