Sterling silver turquoise ring. Featuring a crisp blue turquoise cabochon from the Sleeping Beauty mine in Arizona bezel set in fine silver and set on a heavy, thick, wide sterling silver band. The band has been given a heavily distressed and hammered texture to look as if it's been handed down through the generations. The edges and inside band have been filed, sanded & polished to a silky smooth, ultra comfy finish. Crafted entirely of solid sterling and fine silver that has been deeply oxidized and hand polished to a buttery soft satin finish. A unique one of a kind piece! Stamped .925 inside the shank. This is a chunky, heavier ring, it weighs in at 12 grams.
All fabrication & metalwork done in studio by me... this one crafted to the sweet sounds of R. Carlos Nakai, Canyon Trilogy.
I love turquoise from the Sleeping Beauty mine, it's a favorite of mine! Solid light blue with little to no matrix, it's the epitome of turquoise. This stone is a fine example of some of the great material that comes out of this mine. It's stabilized for durbility, but no other treatment. Natural gem grade turquoise, and it is beautiful!
This ring fits a size 7.75 to 8.5 best. Actual size is 9, but fits smaller due to the width and thickness of the heavy band. Cannot be resized, but I do have a few more similar cabochons and a ring in a custom size is available. Choice of stone for custom size is shown below. Please email for availability.
