Possible Native American ring?.

[7centsworth]

A friend of mine Dad has this ring and was told it is a Native American ring and could be worth a lot. He was told the stone represents a beetle. Any info anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated. Oops I thought I was posting this on the whatzit forum. Didn't realize I was on the Christian forum when I posted it. Maybe yall can tell me about it too.

Nice find! Certainly looks home made.

Is there no stamp on it ? In my years of teaching silver smithing in Az I don't see southwest Indian influence in it. But I am no authority on these things plus it could be other regions Indians. It looks kind of like a dragon body . Keep us posted if you get any solid responses. Steve in so la

HI Travis, it looks to me like an Egyptian Ring with the beetle and the large wings with what looks like a bird! Might look up rings from Egypt, but may be from somewhere else, as I cannot say for sure! Good Luck! God Bless! Ma
