R B Running Bear Vintage Sterling Silver Turquoise Ring Size 7.75
This vintage sterling silver ring, attributed to the R.B. Running Bear shop, is a beautifully traditional piece of Southwestern jewelry built around a generous oval turquoise cabochon. Sized at approximately 7.75, it centers a smooth, domed turquoise stone displaying a lovely sea-green to robin's-egg coloring with delicate dark matrix veining tracing across its surface, confirming a genuine natural stone with real character. The cabochon sits in a clean serrated bezel surrounded by a wide oval frame of finely stamped sunray lines that radiate outward, catching light and adding a sense of motion around the stone. Four hand-stamped silver buttons or rosettes are applied at the cardinal points, top, bottom, and both sides, each punched with a starburst pattern that echoes classic Navajo and Southwestern decorative traditions. The split shank is formed from twisted rope wire that branches gracefully toward the setting, giving the band visual lightness while supporting the substantial head. Craftsmanship is solidly handmade: the stamping is crisp, the bezel hugs the stone securely, and the applied elements are evenly placed. Condition is very good vintage, with an attractive oxidized patina darkening the recessed stampwork to highlight its dimensionality, light surface wear consistent with age and wear, and the turquoise intact and well seated with no visible chips. The darkened silver could be left for an aged look or brightened to preference. Rings of this style remain perennially popular for their bold yet wearable proportions and authentic handcrafted appeal. For collectors of Native American–style silver and turquoise, or anyone seeking a statement ring with genuine vintage soul, this Running Bear turquoise ring delivers warm color, traditional motifs, and the satisfying heft of true handmade silverwork.

What Our Clients Say About Us
I knew I was gonna like Danny, based on his name, but nothing could’ve prepared me for how great of an experience this was. He had the most beautiful 70s Seamaster Cosmic on his website and I was set to be married 2 days later - I arranged to buy it but before leaving we both realized it needed to be serviced. I panicked, because I was literally buying this for my wedding, and Danny being the legend he is, loaned me a nearly identical Seamaster to make sure I could get through the event Never have I had someone go so above and beyond for me, especially while purchasing one of the lesser priced items in their inventory. He serviced my watch and exchanged it with me after the wedding on a super fast turnaround timeline. I would sincerely recommend you visit this guy, you will not be disappointed Edit: adding a pic of the loaner (two tone) and the owner (crosshair)
Great service and shop. Danny and his team were incredibly accommodating, professional, and kind. Great selection of vintage watches. Their store is the hidden gem in the diamond district.
This was my first real luxury watch purchase, a Rolex 15200 Date 34mm, I own Tissots and a Laco, but those are entry level luxury watches. I found Danny’s Vintage Watches online, and had great feedback both on Google, Chrono24 and the Reddit watch community. So decided to give him a shot as buying online can be a crap shoot. Ordered Monday night, was at my doorstep Friday morning. Despite the watch being over 30 years old, serial number says it’s from 91, the watch looked new. Didn’t come with box or papers, and was shipped in a plastic sleeve wrapped in bubble wrap. Danny was always available to answer questions. I’ll be buying from Danny again for the next purchase…saw a couple of Speedmasters on his site I liked….
Can't recommend Danny's vintage watches enough!!! My first Omega ever and im in love have been wearing every day since I purchased it. Danny's shop is a must visit if you are in NYC looking for a watch!!!
