Excellent Vintage Condition. Dimensions: 1 1/4 inches in length by 3/4 inches in wide. Ring Size is 5.5.
A beautiful sterling silver ring with 2 coral cabochons designed by the Zuni artist Carmelita Simplicio who lives in Zuni Pueblo, New Mexico. Artfully handcrafted with a medium sized silver drop in the center, 2 coral cabochons 1/2 inch in length each, surrounded by two intricately carved silver leaves and 4 elegant small silver drops. Hallmarked "simplicio, Sterling".

Carmelita stamps her surname in Gothic print to distinguish herself from other members of the Simplicio family. She specializes in nugget settings and gorgeous foliate designs.
