The other day I was at the mall and set up in the middle was this random woman with tables full of vintage jewelry. I didn’t know that the mall let people essentially set up a yard sale inside, but she had nice stuff so I was down with it. Everything was kind of thrown in boxes and all mixed up, but like I said, most of it was pretty nice. If you stepped within 5 feet of the tables, the woman alerted you that she was making SUPER CRAZY GOOD DEALS, DISCOUNTS ON EVERYTHING, ETC.
I found this vintage Navajo storyteller ring made by F.T. Henry. I was pretty surprised to see it! She had $22 on it, but I got it for $10 due to the super deals happening. You can tell that the ring is handmade because it’s not a perfect circle, and the carving is kind of crude.
Here is a cool article on storyteller jewelry. Basically, the style is folk art created by Pueblo Indians to represent their culture. The carved and inlayed scenes can be really detailed and ornate.
Definitely a cool piece!
