Ring, Fred Harvey Railroad Era, Turquoise, Hallmark, Vintage ‘40s, 2023

Rare Fred Harvey railroad-era find!

A great vintage statement ring is always a fabulous find, but this beauty – circa 1940s – is a unique piece crafted in the signature style of Fred Harvey railroad-era jewelry, which was created and sold to tourists traveling via the Santa Fe Railroad. These pieces are often characterized by lightweight sterling silver and machine stampwork, showcasing motifs like thunderbirds, arrows, and whirling logs. This statement ring features an arrangement of three turquoise stones framed in stamped scalloped silver and set on a 5-bar band that tapers to the back. A beautiful, collectible piece.
