    Good evening
    I found this silver ring in a charity shop today. I can't seem to find any markings on it but I believe it is solid silver. Could it be from the Americas?
    Thank you
    Jannie

    I agree not NA. The three ways split shank or band is not Southwestern NA, and the general look is not NA.
    I wonder if it was made to be engraved with initials or a name?

    The general rule with SW NA is:
    Navajo - a split shank, so two 'prongs' on each side attached to the front.
    Zuni - a solid single shank.
