Sleeping Beauty Turquoise Ring in 18k Gold and Sterling Silver
Sleeping Beauty Turquoise Ring in 18k Gold and Sterling Silver
A beautiful piece of Sleeping Beauty turquoise is set in an 18k gold bezel atop a wide sterling silver band. This bright turquoise stone measures about 10 x 15 mm with a low profile, flat top. I've oriented it horizontally on the finger for a one-of-a-kind statement ring.
***Sleeping Beauty turquoise comes from the Sleeping Beauty Mine near Globe, Arizona. It is known for its solid, bright blue color without much matrix. The mine was closed in the summer of 2012 until further notice, so this turquoise is becoming more expensive and difficult to find. Associated with the throat chakra, turquoise has long been considered a protective stone by many different cultures.***
Currently a size 7.5, I'll be happy to size this ring up or down to fit. :O)
Made with an Arizona stone in my Sonoran Desert studio. xo
