Vintage Zuni Turquoise Snake Eye and Cluster Sterling Silver Ring

This impressive vintage ring is a prime example of intricate Zuni silversmithing, likely dating from the mid-to-late 20th century (1960s-1970s). The elongated face features a classic cluster design utilizing both oval cabochons and numerous tiny, perfectly round snake eye cut turquoise stones. This meticulous arrangement, set in simples bezels, showcases the delicate craftsmanship characteristic of Zuni jewelers. The natural turquoise stones, likely set into a handmade sterling silver mounting, create a brilliant, floral-like statement piece.

Though unmarked, the silver tests positive for sterling. The ring is a size 7 and measures about 1 7/8 inches long by 3/4 inch wide.
