Old Pawn Vintage 1960’s Navajo Sterling Silver & Kingman Spiderweb Turquoise Ring
Old Pawn Vintage 1960’s Navajo Sterling Silver & Kingman Spiderweb Turquoise Ring
Purchased in 1989, on a late teen southwest road trip from a pawn shop, just outside of Flagstaff, Arizona, this ring has been in my collection for a very long time. Classic Kingman Spiderweb turquoise, along with the hand pierced webbing and dot details of the silver shank, this ring is a wonderful example of 1960’s Navajo jewelry. In excellent vintage condition and ready to find her forever home, now that I’m ready and willing to pass her along to someone new. Will it be you?
A little history about Kingman turquoise. First discovered by prehistoric native indians, over 1000 years ago, the Kingman mine is one of the oldest turquoise mines and the last remaining commercially producing mine in the United States. Known for it’s rich green blue hues and webbing effect, this particular turquoise is highly collected and still mined today.
