Colorful purple striations are featured in this handsome vintage wampum shell ring from Taxco, circa 1970s.
The oval shaped hand crafted ring features a purple and white striped wampum (quahog clam shell), with the face measuring just under 1 inch in length, and set in a sterling silver bezel.
It has a split shank, measures a size 4&3/4 on my ring mandrel, and is marked “Taxco”, “Mexico”, “925”, and has the maker’s initials of NC at center, along with the eagle assay mark with a number “3”.
