A beautiful vintage sterling and saw tooth bezel set natural turquoise cluster ring marked Sterling and PA which I believe is the hallmark of Zuni silversmith Paul Arviso. I purchased this ring from the original owner who bought it in Arizona in the 1970's. It is a size 5 1/2 and the face of the ring measures 1 1/4" long and 1" wide. Fine original condition with no chips or cracks to the stones. It is an impressive ring.

It is in fine original condition, weighs 64 grams, and is signed as shown. One can see the Patania style influence in the great design.
