This is a classic piece of mid-20th-century Alaskan jewelry — a gentleman’s ring that combines rugged materials with timeless style. The band is crafted in 10 karat yellow gold and set with a rectangular cut of rich green Kobuk jade, a stone long prized in Alaska for its depth of color. At the center sits a natural gold nugget, with additional placer nuggets decorating each side of the shank, giving the piece a distinctly Alaskan character. The ring is a size 10.5 and weighs approximately 15.5 grams. Both wearable and collectible, it’s a striking example of how local miners and craftsmen turned the treasures of Alaska’s rivers and mountains into lasting works of adornment.
