    I got these 2 rings yesterday and they both test positive for sterling but not marked.The green turquoise one looks old, they both might be old since no markings right ?

    Any info on stones, age etc. ?

    Thank You all for your previous replies, I really appreciate you all.

    May You All Have a Happy Holiday and a New Year. I really love you all 020.JPG 021.JPG

    Looks like turquoise and agate,impossible to date.Could have been made in Mexico or any number of places,by hobbyist/students, etc... old? age is relative,hobbyist have been making NA/SW designs for at least 60 years.

    They could both be Deadhead rings, as in made my silversmiths who sold jewelry to pay to travel around going to Grateful Dead concerts. Neither looks 100% definitely Native American to me. That may well be turquoise that's been exposed to oils of some sort, including skin oil. I.e. old.

    Nice rings, but it is impossible to say if they are Native American. The split shank is used by the Navajo, but also by non-Natives.
    Same to you, Billy. And we love you too.:kiss:
