Last 5 photos show ring being worn on a medium/large hand. Handcrafted in the later-mid century by an unidentified Artist, this ring features a unique design at a high level of craftsmanship. The ring features a long face adorned with 3 high grade gem stones. The turquoise is deep blue with tight black webbing and undeniably from the Kingman mine. The coral is bright red with natural pitting and a satin finish. The third stone is actually made up of three inlays and appears to be petrified walrus tooth.. Super rare and unusual!!! It has beautiful tan color hues with dark matrix like veining. The stones are in excellent condition and rest securely in their bezels over a thick bed of silver. Silver droplets accompany the stones while the turquoise is surrounded by dark oxidized silver. The ring is thick, sturdy, and in excellent vintage condition. The back of the ring has a triple fused shank that splits before meeting the back of the face. It’s a solid band, in perfect round shape.
