oh, wow. this ring is a true treasure and it likely has many many stories to tell
it's an older Zuni snake eye ring with an assortment of hues of turquoise set in very worn bezel settings, finished with rope details on either side of the setting. the band is simple and was soldered on, not cast as part of the ring.
this is an older ring with lots of wear — it isn't your perfect fit if you like your vintage jewelry crisp and like new
unmarked sterling silver + natural turquoise

in good very very vintage condition
it's structurally sound, but it's worn
-rope details have softened
-bezel settings have worn from being sawtooth-edged to nearly flush-set
-turquoise stones are all present, but they show significant surface wear and one of the end stones has cracking
-band is out-of-level
-uneven patina throughout the silver — polishing decisions are left to the next caretaker
