An unusual piece of turquoise from here in Arizona is cut into an oval that measures a little over 12 x 16 mm. The color of this stone is unusual - it's a rich turquoise blue-green mixed with a brown and caramel! An earthy stone with subtle mottling, I think it looks especially nice with tan, khaki and olive - and of course cream and white! Set in an 18k yellow gold bezel atop a wide sterling silver band, this ring is very comfortable to wear.

***Turquoise was one of the first gems to be mined. It gets its blue color from a combination of copper and aluminum. Turquoise is an alternate birthstone for December. 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 a stone from the Southwest in my studio in the Sonoran Desert. xo
