Stunning Vintage Carolyn Pollack Ring | Sterling Silver Southwestern Design | Size 7 Relios Signed Jewelry

Description

Discover a captivating piece of American Southwestern artistry with this stunning vintage ring by renowned designer Carolyn Pollack for Relios. This exceptional ring embodies the spirit and beauty of Southwestern jewelry, a tradition deeply rooted in the cultural heritage of Native American tribes like the Navajo, Zuni, and Hopi, known for their intricate silverwork and use of natural gemstones. Carolyn Pollack, founding Relios in Albuquerque, New Mexico in 1975, built her legacy on collaborating with local artisans and translating the region's iconic motifs into contemporary yet timeless sterling silver designs.

This particular piece showcases a large, luminous oval cabochon of pale green stone (aventurine?), securely held in a distinctive crown-like bezel setting. The substantial sterling silver band features intricate stamped or etched patterns, echoing traditional Southwestern designs and adding depth and character. As a vintage item, it carries the subtle marks of its history; the surface of the aventurine shows gentle signs of its journey with minor surface scuffing, adding to its authentic charm. This captivating piece is a comfortable size 7 on the finger and has a substantial feel, weighing a notable 9 grams. Authenticity is confirmed by the clear markings on the inside of the band: the signature of Carolyn Pollack, alongside 'Relios', '925' confirming the sterling silver purity, and the copyright symbol. Add a unique piece of wearable history and Southwestern elegance to your collection with this iconic Carolyn Pollack creation.
