Ray Bennett? ring.
-
This could be? Ray Bennett.
Three things:
He usually signs Ray Bennett or R. Bennett/Sterling, this is marked STERLING BENNETT.
But: Almost all sterling bolo ties are signed simply "BENNETT/PAT.Pending" and many are attributed to Ray Bennett - right or wrong I wouldn't know.
The motif is more "Western" and I didn't see any garnet jewelry out there by Bennett.
I was wondering if R. Bennett is still alive and if he is part of a Navajo jewelry dynasty, including Lee and Cecilia Mae Bennett?
This would be so great if I could find more information on this ring - Appreciate any information you can offer!

Hello,
We are not familiar with this hallmark, sorry. When you see Bennett Pat Pend. on a bolo it refers to the bolo backing designed by a G.L. Bennett in California, nothing to do with the artist. The ring appears to be cast, and the gemstones is unusual, not sure who made it.
Howdy, Stranger!
