Native American Style Double Stone Ring

This item is a statement ring, likely crafted in a Native American or Southwestern style, featuring two prominent bezel-set cabochon stones. The ring appears to be made of sterling silver, evidenced by its gray, slightly tarnished appearance and intricate metalwork. The design incorporates two flower-like settings arranged vertically along the finger, suggesting a longer profile. Each 'flower' consists of a central oval or rounded cabochon stone, surrounded by a sawtooth bezel. Beyond the bezel, there is a twisted wire border, and then an outer frame formed by ten pointed 'petals', each terminating in a small silver bead. The upper stone is a vibrant orange-red, consistent with coral, while the lower stone is an iridescent white, characteristic of mother-of-pearl. The metalwork displays a darkened patina in the recessed areas, which accentuates the raised details and provides depth to the design. This patina is consistent with age and natural oxidation of silver, suggesting it has not been recently polished. The ring's construction indicates a handmade nature, with visible soldering points and individual craftsmanship. There are no obvious signs of severe damage, such as cracks in the stones or significant bending of the silver. Minor surface scratches or general wear commensurate with age are likely but not clearly discernible from the image. The overall impression is one of traditional craftsmanship and a distinctive aesthetic. The style suggests an estimated age from the mid to late 20th century.
