Natural Deep Blue Green Turquoise Ring with Golden Matrix

About The Natural Deep Blue Green Turquoise Ring with Golden Matrix

Sterling silver drawn wire and mill rolled sheet were used in fabrication of this showpiece ring.  

A stunning "corner clipped" hand cut trapezoid cabochon of natural Nevada turquoise is the star of this ring.  Stone measures 7/8" X 5/8" and  has been set in a saw nothced bezel surrounded by at trenched silver wire coil tightly wrapped.  This is framed by a heavy square drawn wire, saw cut and file notched decoration on north and south edges.  East and west sides are file notched, at each end of a cutaway. OIn these spaces are soldered five smelted silver taindrops in rows across from one another--nicely balanced.

The wide shank has been evenly divided into five bars and fan out on each side where they are soldered to the face back plate and carefully smoothed.  Every detail is perfection of planning and execution.
