Southwestern Fire Agate Ring in 10K Gold: Vintage Signed Alfred Joe, Size 6

A truly exceptional ring for several reasons. First, its bezel, band, and ornamentations are constructed of 10K gold, and gold tribal jewelry is uncommon; only a few southwestern silversmiths have worked in gold. This ring was handcrafted by award winning artist Alfred Joe. (The ring back is on a silver base that is signed AJ.) It features a beautiful cut and polished fire agate that is grade Commercial I or better. An absolutely gorgeous and unique ring! We left it in as found condition to preserve its Native American character but are willing to polish it upon buyer's request.
