Description

A collection of ten rings, several of which align with characteristics of Navajo handmade sterling silver black onyx rings from the 1980s. The collection comprises rings predominantly crafted from silver-toned metal, with visible ‘STERLING’ and ‘MEXICO’ markings on select pieces. Inlay materials include black (likely onyx or glass), white/cream (possibly enamel or shell), green (potentially malachite), and purple mosaic (likely abalone or mother-of-pearl). Some rings feature small clear accent stones and gold-toned metal details. Styles are diverse, ranging from classic cabochon settings and geometric designs, including a black and white checkerboard pattern, to a wide band with abstract patterns and a large, ornate ring with mosaic inlay, reflecting Southwestern or vintage aesthetics. Sizes range from 6 to 8.
