Sold
Sterling silver ring mounted with an intricate hand carved rock crystal face c.1930's signed by Frederick Fred Davis(1880-1961). The Pre-Columbian design face measures 1 inch. Ring size is 11. In their chapter on Fred Davis, Greta Pack and Mary Davis' MEXICAN JEWELRY states that "he set as jewels the little old stone carvings which were still being dug up from the fields and were plentiful at that time". Davis often incorporated onyx, obsidian or malachite carved stone faces in his designs but this is the first Davis piece we've seen using rock crystal. Accented by two silver balls on either side of shank. No dents or dings to the silver.
