Congrats on the silver, Joe, is it marked inside? Native American made or other? What type of area did you find it in? Sub

Congratz! But we need details....

Some back story would be nice ! That's a beautiful ring , looks like it was worn for many years before it was dropped . It may
well be Navajo made - in Arizona , or New Mexico .

Very nice,, that's a dark green turquoise.
Almost jade colored. Congrats

Funny, I looked with a mag., no mark! I guess hand made? I really don't know, but it is Silver.

 

[JoeB_OH]

I dug it at a Park near the Lake here in Cleveland. Was only 4-5" down. Still researching.

Better pics, I thought it looked hand - made?

Nice..

Oh yeah , It's all hand made - first a bezel is made to fit the stone , it is then soldered down to the " back plate " along with the
ornamental bead wire (around the bezel ) the ring shank is formed and soldered to the underside of the back plate. Clean up ,
polish and set the stone . Nice find !

Congrats on those 2 nice finds. I bet both screamed to be rescued.

Nice!
Onyx is my favorite stone to find in silver, turquoise is a close second and that is a beauty.
