Turquoise, coral, and sterling ring need help

Well, I probably shouldn't have bought this, but I did.  I paid $75 at an auction for this beautiful ring an would like to resell it.  It measures 1 and 5/8 inches long 3/4 inches at the widest point.  I haven't cleaned it because I don't want to mess up the tag that verifies it is sterling. Any ideas as to origin?  Pricing?DSC00328.JPGDSC00330.JPG

Is there a maker's mark on the ring?

Hi. I have a very similar ring purchased from a Navajo artisan in 1972. Sorry, have no idea of value. My ring is marked sterling with the artists initials.

"McManus" certified the ring is made from Sterling but is not necessarily the artist.

 

OP probably knows that she cannot advertise it as Native American unless it is signed by a tribal member.

Thanks for the replies.  Yes, I realize I can't advertise it as native American made, it's just that I'm unsure  as to the value.  I guess I could ask at a jewelry store and half it.

 

I'm trying to branch out a little as my vintage sales are down so much.
