Vintage John & Bonnie Quam sterling silver turquoise wrap ring, featuring an open bypass design with two elongated decorative terminals. Each end is accented with multiple small turquoise stones arranged among detailed silverwork, including twisted-wire, bead and feather-like motifs. The oxidized recesses emphasize the intricate Southwestern design.

The interior bears the distinctive Quam turtle hallmark, consistent with work attributed to John & Bonnie Quam. The turquoise variety, ring size, weight and exact production date have not been confirmed from the photographs.

Market Comparison

Comparable category: John & Bonnie Quam / J. Quam Native American sterling silver turquoise jewelry.

Comparable online asking range: Exact matches for this particular wrap ring are scarce. Documented J. Quam pieces include collectible sterling turquoise and coral jewelry, including belt buckles and bolo ties, and auction catalogs also document early signed J.Q. Native American silver and turquoise rings. GotoAuction Given the lack of a verified identical ring, I would avoid assigning a narrow “market value” from generic turquoise-ring listings.

Jewelry Revival Price

C$250 CAD

For Jewelry Revival, C$250 is a solid starting ask because the identifiable Quam attribution makes this more interesting than an unsigned Southwestern turquoise ring. If you give me the size and gram weight, I can tighten the price further.
