Rare Native American Navajo Sterling Silver Turquoise Ring by Ivan Kee, Size 10.5, measures 1.25'' x 1'', hallmarked19g in total wt. Absolutely stunning ring! FYI: Ivan perfected his silver artistry in the 1940's and 1950's working as apprentice to and colleague of his older cousin, the brilliant master Navajo silversmith, Kenneth Begay, who was widely known as ''the Father of Modern Navajo jewelry.'' Of the three Kee brothers, Ivan was, by far, the least prolific and his work is considerably harder to find.
