Heavy Sterling Silver Turquoise Ring — Unmarked Southwestern Statement Piece

This is a ring with real gravity — both in weight and in presence. Hand-built in thick, heavy-gauge sterling silver, this unmarked Southwestern ring carries the unmistakable authority of traditional Native American silversmithing. Bold without excess, it centers on a striking rectangular turquoise cabochon set deep into a substantial bezel, framed by clean hand-cut accents that guide the eye inward.

The turquoise displays rich blue-green coloration with natural earth-toned matrix, the kind of stone long favored by Southwestern artisans for its durability and character. It reads as natural turquoise, likely sourced from classic American deposits, chosen for color and strength rather than polish alone.

The shoulders are sculpted with fluted fan motifs and strong architectural lines — a design language most often associated with Navajo silverwork from the mid-to-late 20th century. While the ring is unsigned, the craftsmanship speaks clearly: confident symmetry, careful soldering, and a solidity that only comes from experienced hands. Rings like this were made to be worn daily, not tucked away — built to last decades, not seasons.

As with all Jack Gringo vintage pieces, this ring is offered exactly as found. We do not polish away history or erase the subtle marks of time. The patina, surface wear, and honest aging are part of the story. Once it’s yours, you’re free to clean, polish, or restore it as you see fit — but we believe some things deserve to arrive with their past intact.

This is not tourist silver.
This is not costume jewelry.
This is a serious ring, made for someone who values weight, authenticity, and presence over signatures.

Jack Gringo says:
Some pieces don’t need a name stamped inside the band — they carry their history in the weight of the silver and the miles they’ve already traveled.
