Vintage Native American Bell Trading Post Ring with turquoise, size 8.75

Bell Trading Post catered to the 20th century tourist trade, which boomed across the Southwest after the railway was completed! Sometimes engaging Native Americans craftsmen, and sometimes using new machine-led processes; their jewelry his highly collectible and beautifully done. This sterling silver ring features 5 cabs of turquoise, set in a design reminiscent of Zuni “snake eye” designs. It is a larger size than the ones I’ve recently found, at 8.75. Fully marked on the inside with the Bell Trading Post logo and the sterling mark.
