Vintage 1970s Sterling Silver and Turquoise Ring – Ring Size 7 1/2

A dainty silver and pear-shaped turquoise ring with beautiful accents. A braided strand of silver surrounds the turquoise drop which is set within a frame of silver – giving it a nice depth. A curl of silver is topped off with a dot. This ring is not stamped as most handmade jewelry in the 1970s wasn’t but tests as sterling silver. Size 7 1/2 ¾” x ½” (just under) and its widest 3 grams My dad was on location in Santa Fe for a lot of 1974. Considering the number of turquoise rings, bracelets, necklaces and earrings we have, he must have spent most of his downtime in Santa Fe square having jewelry made for him. I don’t think he ever caught on that my mom only wore gold and that his gifts were being stashed away.
