VERY NICE Authentic Native American Thunderbird .925 Sterling Silver Turquoise / Coral Ring Jewelry L@@K !
A picture is worth a thousand words, so we have included three photographs for your viewing pleasure. Ring has been resized, to make it smaller, but it thereby covered up the artisan's signature and the sterling stamp markings. Even so, the metal has been tested, and it is absolutely .925 sterling silver. The inlaid wing and tail designs are turquoise and coral chips, respectively. Weight of the entire item is 9 grams. Length of the Thunderbird is 1-9/16" long and 15/16" wide, at the extremes of the design. 13/16" ring diameter.
