Sterling mill-rolled sheet, round and half round wire were utilized to fabricate the showcase ring setting for a single large natural turquoise stone.
The cabochon is hand cut, following what appears to be its original shape, into a pleasing elongated tear drop measuring 1 9/16" in length X 9/16" width. Its coloration is a light to dark seafoam green with delightful and intricate display of black to brown and golden matrix calling to mind a forest reflected in still water.
Imagine the joy in viewing this remarkable stone every day !
