vintage greasy green single cab ring

This vintage Cerrillos turquoise ring is as bold and storied as the stone itself. Handcrafted by a Native silversmith sometime before 1975, it features a stunning, raw Cerrillos turquoise cabochon—rich with character and natural matrix—set in a heavy sterling frame with rope and shadowbox details. Legend has it this beauty spent decades tucked away in a jewelry box in Santa Fe, a forgotten gift from a road trip through the high desert. It finally surfaced at a small estate sale, made it all the way to a collector- then catching my eye with its rugged charm and vibrant green natural glow. Now it’s ready for a new chapter, bringing with it the spirit of New Mexico’s mines, mesas, and sunsets. A true Southwestern treasure with plenty of soul.
