Bell Trading Post was a jewelry company founded in 1932 by Jack and Mildred Michelson in Albuquerque, New Mexico, which initially sold Native American jewelry. The business grew by mass-producing affordable jewelry during the Depression, which the founders achieved by teaching local artisans modern techniques and using materials like nickel silver. During WWII, the company pivoted to manufacturing military insignia. It expanded significantly after the war, and in 1971, it reorganized as Sunbell, which eventually closed in 1981.

Ring measures approximately a US size 6 on mandrel.

Weighs approximately 4.11 grams.

In good condition with no noticeable flaws. Please see all photos.
