Vintage Navajo Storyteller Ring Sterling Silver 12K Gold Filled Size 11.75 Tom Sylvia Kee TSK Signed Hogans Wagon Landscape Band 6.5g

Description

This exceptional vintage ring is a signed work of art by the renowned Navajo silversmithing duo, Tom and Sylvia Kee (TSK). Known for their intricate "storyteller" overlay designs, this wide band beautifully captures the spirit of the American Southwest. The piece is crafted from a durable and classic combination of solid sterling silver and 1/20 12K gold fill, featuring a continuous pictorial scene raised in warm gold against a textured, oxidized silver background.

The detailed relief depicts a traditional life narrative on the reservation, featuring iconic imagery such as hogans (traditional dwellings), figures, and a horse-drawn wagon. The two-tone contrast creates depth and visual interest, making this piece a collectible example of Native American craftsmanship. With a substantial weight of 6.5 grams, the ring feels robust and high-quality. A visible weld mark or resizing seam is present on the interior of the band, which is common in vintage pieces that have been sized, but it does not affect the structural integrity or exterior beauty of the ring.

Vintage Condition & Care: All items listed are previously owned and used unless otherwise stated. Please expect signs of wear such as scuffs, blemishes, or imperfections.
