This is a very rare 980 silver ring in the form of a turtle by Artemio Navarrete, c. 1930s. Navarette was hired in 1931 by Spratling to start his silver shop and was Spratling's first (and, for a period, only) silversmith. He designed many of Spratling's early pieces and taught and supervised many of Spratling's silversmiths. The ring is a size 5 1/2 and could be resized without damaging the maker's mark. The turtle measures 1" x 7/8" and is about 1/4" high. The ring is in excellent condition and is fully signed with Navarrete's mark and "Taxco", "980".
