That's a nice find to be sure ! Nakai is/was Navajo , and the ring was most likely made in New Mexico or Arizona - circa 1970

Nakai is very collectable. If my better half had your ring for sale it would have a $75 price tag on it, maybe a little higher depending on the size and weight.

In reply to questions about the colored chips used in the inlay on this ring and other chip/resin inlay jewelry of this vintage - Typically
the blue chips were comprised of crushed turquoise , the reds ideally would be coral - however it is possible that simulation coral ,
may be used here (plastics , or dyed alternative stone chips ) these chips are mixed with a resinous epoxy and put into the place
allotted for them . This chip inlay was quite popular from the 1950's thru the mid 70's in the south western U.S. and is associated
with Navajo and Zuni Native work primarily.
