    I am pretty sure the pinky ring is a Navajo turquoise ring but no markings so assuming it was before 1960? Help me out ? And the pendant has a heavy red stone in it but no markings as well...the silver ring is so shiny it almost seems painted with a bunch of clear and red gems in it. There is a marking on the inside idk what it is very hard to see even with a loupe. Looks like maybe a SW?? Very very pretty. Got them all from my friends grandmothers estate when she passed ...

    Very nice turquoise, looks like it could be Sleeping Beauty, but no way to verify it just like that. It could be Navajo (Art Nouveau-ish), but we don't know.
    Unmarked pieces were still made in the 1970s. As it is we can only say that it is Southwest style.

    I have no idea about the other ring, except it reflects your flash really well.:D

    So does the pendant, which could be Indian (India), possibly with a carnelian. Could you photograph it without using a flash?

    The red stone in the pendant looks like a badly cut garnet.

    The top one is definitely Navajo-style, but you can't be 100% sure where it came from without marks. The second ring looks like modern costume from what I can see. The pendant's stone looks like it has a burst bubble along one facet; to me that screams glass. It could be Indian or Chinese and probably is silver.

    I thought that was a chip?
    I'd say Indian, rather than Chinese. I don't know if the Chinese are faking Indian jewellery, since the real deal is so cheap anyway.

    It might be, but all the facet edges are so worn I figured it had to be glass. A lot of the Indian pieces are.
