Vintage Sterling Silver Bear Claw Ring – Size 7 – Unmarked Old Pawn Style

Striking vintage bear claw statement ring, crafted from patinated sterling silver with a bold natural turquoise cabochon at the center. The ring features a deep shadowbox claw motif, a classic design commonly seen in Navajo and Pueblo silversmithing traditions from the mid-20th century. This piece is unmarked, which is not uncommon for authentic Native American jewelry from the early-to-mid 1900s. Many artisans of that era did not hallmark their work, especially when pieces were sold directly or through trading posts. The heavy silver, traditional casting style, and overall design are consistent with vintage Native craftsmanship, likely dating to the 1950s–1970s. 📏 Ring size: 7 💠 Stone: Natural turquoise, likely Kingman or similar, with rich matrix 🕰 Age: Estimated 1950s–70s, based on design, construction, and patina ⚠️ Disclaimer: This ring is unmarked, which is common for authentic Native American jewelry made prior to hallmarking regulations.
