Alternate view of this ring.

This extraordinary ring was a collaboration by two southwest jewelers. The silver band serves as the foundation for the gold pictorial design. The only designs on the silver are lines resembling rain located at the edge of the gold panel. The gold design is a multi-storied pueblo scene with two buildings and an horno. Outlining the gold panel is a darkened background in black, providing a black frame for the gold panel.

Both southwest artists names are stamped on the inside of the band, however, I can only read one name-M. M. Reyes, the other name being in illegible script. M. M. Reyes is credited with the 14k gold design and the silversmith will have to remain unknown.

Condition: very good condition with minor scratches

Provenance: this Southwest Sterling Silver and 14K Gold Ring with Pueblo Scene Designs is from a resident of Albuquerque
