| Wide Native American Old Pawn 925 Sterling Silver Inlaid Red Coral Blue Turquoise Ring/Ban: This wide Native American man's antique ring is an Old Pawn item. Native American Indians made, wore, and treasured such jewelry for adornment, protector of good health, and portable wealth. Such jewelry served as the family reserve or emergency fund. During a crisis, it was security, cash from an authorized trader (pawned). When crops were harvested, sheep shorn, or other better time arrived, it could be redeemed and returned to its place in the family. If the loan wasn't paid, the Pawn Shop or Trader was authorized to sell the jewelry. When family elders die, the items are pawned and money is divided within the family. This fine Pawn men's size ring is no tourist trap item nor cheap import. It was part of someone's life. Weight: 9.4 grams. Price: $225
