Vintage Signed Navajo Sterling Ring with Large Chrysocolla hotsell Stone - Size 7.25-7.5 - FREE PM Insured Shipping

This is a beautiful ring, with a large Chrysocolla stone taking center stage, surrounded by just enough silver accenting to show it off and not detract. It is signed by “Geo. T” (I was never able to identify this artisan). I bought it years ago because it reminded me of ocean waves. I haven't worn it in awhile so it has developed a natural patina, which I left intact.

- Top is 1-1/8” long x 3/4” at widest x 3/8” deep
I have photographed it with a dime for size comparison
Note that the colors may vary somewhat on your device's screen - I tried to get the tonal weight correct in the photos

I have some other rings listed, and have a lot more jewelry to add plus other vintage items. I will ship the ring in a small cardboard ring gift box in a larger square box for protection. Free Insured Priority-Mail shipping is included with this ring. Always happy to combine shipping. (See below for some tips about NA jewelry.)

You should avoid getting Native American jewelry wet, especially older pieces, because it's possible that sawdust is backing/padding the stone. Don't expose the stone to chemicals. When using silver-polishing cloths, try to avoid rubbing the cloth on the stone.

Ring Size tip from my grandmother: Those foam corn pads will help a slightly loose ring fit better. Cut a piece that will fit on the back center of the ring, stick it on, and voila! A pad that helps a loose ring fit better. If your knuckle size is an issue, get the ring on your finger and then see if you hotsell can work the piece of foam into place from underneath.
There are also flat “felt” pads with a sticky back that you can cut to size and use to help a ring stay in place that fits pretty well but tries to slide sideways. You can stack this type of backing if you need it a little thicker. You can also try regular tape back-rolled to see if that will help a ring stay in place.
Tricks like this work well with rings that have solid backs, like so many NA rings tend to have. I'm not a fan of the rubber rolled pieces that you put on the band - they pinch or just feel odd. Thinking outside the box lets you wear and enjoy a ring that might be too large for a particular finger but too small for the next one (or help on days when your fingers swell or shrink).

Thank you for viewing this item!

I have tried to provide a full & accurate description, but please ask if something is questionable. My items are generally in vintage/pre-owned condition, so be sure to view the photos. I sold online for years before setting up this shop, and had 100% happy buyers - so purchase with confidence.

If you do not have a good experience, please let me know right away and give me the opportunity to fix it.

If you are purchasing more than one item, and they can be combined, I will refund any overpayment. I do not charge extra for handling or supplies, and my home is non-smoking.
~~ Shipping note: I offer multiple shipping options when possible. However, the Etsy format does not allow me to set up both accurate location-based shipping AND the Priority Mail flat-rate option. I'm happy to check if you think flat-rate or another option might be cheaper for your location. Then if you do purchase and we can use a better option, I'll refund any overpayment.

I will ship your item by the next business day (incl. Saturdays whenever possible) after receiving notice of payment, barring an extraordinary weather event. I will ship to the confirmed U.S. address associated with your payment account.
