How cool is this ring?
Ring size 7 3/4 (almost an 8)
VINTAGE NAVAJO - PERHAPS "VERY" VINTAGE - PROBABLY ANTIQUE
VERY OLD ASSEMBLY TECHNIQUES WERE USED
WONDERFUL TURQUOISE NUGGETS
LOTS OF MATRIX DISPLAYED
A LOT OF HAND-TOOLING / FABRICATION
I AM AN OLD ARIZONA COWBOY - AND THIS RING IS OLDER THAN I AM
THIS IS A COLLECTOR PIECE THAT YOU WILL BE PROUD TO WEAR FROM TIME TO TIME.
BUT THIS PIECE IS VERY OLD AN DESERVES TO BE PRESERVED FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS
THE NAVAJO SILVERSMITH PUT A WHOLE LOT OF WORK INTO THIS RING
IF MADE TODAY, IT WOULD BE A LOT "NICER" IN THE TOOLING AND FINISH
THESE OLDER NUGGETS WOULD BE HARDER TO COME BY
I CHERISH THIS BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND WHERE IT CAME FROM, THE REVERENCE THE ARTIST PUT INTO HIS CRAFT, THE ECONOMIC CONDITIONS THAT THE SILVERSMITH SUFFERED THROUGH - THE LACK OF STERLING INGOTS AND WIRE (THIS IS MOST LIKELY HAMMERED COIN SILVER - FROM 90% SILVER COINS INSTEAD OF 92.5% STERLING INGOT / BULLION / WIRE)
BUT IT STILL LOOKS GREAT ON THE RIGHT FINGER!
WE ARE AN ARIZONA-BASED BUSINESS THAT DEALS IN ANTIQUES AND FINE COLLECTIBLES.
We have been dealing in antiques for over 35 years – first as a collector – and then selling off some to make room for new items in our collection – and so the cycle goes. today it is no longer a “hobby”, but an enterprise – a small enterprise – some would say a very small enterprise!
WE ACQUIRE ITEMS FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY – INDEED, ALL OVER THE WORLD – WITHOUT EVER HAVING TO LEAVE ARIZONA. We gather up most of the items we have for sale from local estates of people that have retired to arizona from all over the country – some are “deceased” estates, and some are from retirees that need to down-size to move into assisted living apartments. we buy up multiple items – and sometimes entire collections – from estates where the owner had not necessarily acquired any items for the last 10, 20, and sometimes 30 years – so virtually all of our items are “vintage”, if not true antiques.
hence, the modern-made knock-offs and fakes are not as prevalent as you might find from another source. BUT we do get caught once it a while – we got bit at least twice this year – ouch!
when we realize it, we own up to our mistakes – we will not intentionally misrepresent the age or origin or condition of any item that we offer for sale – and we stand behind our description.
I
am honored by your decision to do business with us and I will take whatever steps I reasonably can to accommodate your wishes.

DAMAGED ITEM?
or
DID I OVERLOOK SOMETHING IN THE DESCRIPTION??
It happens – rarely - but it does happen.
YOUR CONCERNS WILL BE AT THE TOP OF MY LIST – GUARANTEED!!
We have NEVER had a damage issue unresolved to the customer’s complete satisfaction
Step 1
: Take a photo of the carton and the damaged item and send it to me right away via email.
Step 2
: Set the carton, the packing and the item aside.
Step 3
:
See below for more details
, but this is how easy it is to get started . . .
RETURN POLICY.
WE DO NOT ACCEPT RETURNS FOR ALL ITEMS
– MOST, but not all.
Certain items, like “new in box” can’t be returned, because I can no longer call them “new in box”.
As a general rule, if I can have it back in exactly the same condition, and you ship it back to me right away upon my approval of the return, I’m glad to reverse the transaction for you.
But if I can’t have it back in exactly the same condition – then I don’t want it back.
Or if you don’t tell me right away when you receive it that it is not what you wanted – then I don’t want it back in this case, either.
And consider that if you buy something from a store in town, and you return it, you’ve paid for the cost to go get the item and again to go return the item. Same in dealing with me – you pay the costs to receive it and to return it UNLESS I really blew it in describing the item.
INSURANCE IS ALWAYS INCLUDED
SHIPPING CARTONS & PACKING MATERIALS ARE ALREADY INCLUDED IN THE SHIPPING COSTS ON YOUR SCREEN
When the buyer is responsible for all shipping costs both ways
– that includes reimbursement to the seller for all shipping costs for the listings that offer “free shipping”. CONTACT US BEFORE RETURNING AN ITEM. Not so that we can talk you out of returning the item, but so that we can be prepared and, depending on the circumstances, we may be able to reduce or even eliminate return shipping charges. PLEASE USE OUR SAME CARTON AND PACKING. It worked well enough to get the item to you – and it will work for a return.
You MUST send it back to us in the same condition,
AND
cooperate with us in cancelling the transaction through eBay’s procedures so that they refund the final value fees that that have assessed.
WE WILL NOT PAY MORE FOR RETURN POSTAGE & INSURANCE THAN WE PAID TO HAVE IT SHIPPED TO YOU.
PERIOD.
THE RETURNED ITEM MUST ABSOLUTELY BE IN THE SAME CONDITION AS WHEN IT WAS SENT OUT BY US.
We reserve the right to change shipping carriers.
If you need a particular carrier, please let us know and we will gladly do our reasonable best to accommodate your needs.
WE NEED A STREET ADDRESS FOR ITEMS SENT BY UPS
.
OVERSEAS SHIPPING:
YES.
WE DO SHIP OVERSEAS on
most
items.
We are shipping from Peoria, Arizona 85383.
If you choose First Class International, there is no Tracking Number available.
Once I ship it – all we can do is wait. Our insurance company will not even consider a claim for loss until at least 45 days has passed.
You will know for certain that it has been mailed, but depending on the Customs department in your country – who knows when it will come? Most deliveries are at your home country customs department within five days of the time I ship (almost everything travels by air these days). We will have a Customs number, and the US Post Office will update the online file only twice – right away when the item is shipped and sometime after it has been delivered.
Priority Mail International cost more
– and is required for all items over 4 pounds – and certain other items –
but they also provide more current tracking information
.
We are not responsible for any customs delays or customs duties or fees.
WE GLADLY COMBINE MULTIPLE ITEMS.
Just contact us by
any time before we ship
and we will GLADLY adjust the invoice.
MEASUREMENTS
All measurements and weights, etc. are approximate.
If you need it precise, please ask us to verify before you bid. I’m an old man and I don’t see so good, so I have to get ahold of one of the neighbor’s kids and ask them to precisely read the tape measure for me.
If you’re old like me – you know how it is. If you’re not old yet – you’ll find out later . . .
**
IF YOU HAVE ANY ISSUES
**
ANY ISSUES AT ALL
PLEASE CONTACT US TO DISCUSS THE MATTER.
We’ve made mistakes in the past, and we know that we’ll make mistakes in the future.
But our mistakes should be our problem, NOT YOURS.
Again – we are not in the “gotcha” business.
We want you to be happy with your purchase.
We are not some big company with a large staff and thousands upon thousands of customers (we wish!).
Instead – there are just the two of us – handling only a few sales per week.
And we do care about each transaction, each item, each advertised description, each inquiry, each sale, each packed item, and each customer.
As always, we stand behind the accuracy of this description.
We pride ourselves on Customer Satisfaction, and we are committed to doing our reasonable best to see to your needs. If an issue arises, please contact us right away to discuss the matter with us – and in no case later than 3 days after your receipt of the item.
Thanks for your interest!
I mean it – THANK YOU!
Best Wishes,
Paul
