Sterling Silver and White Water Turquoise Ring

I have loved Turquoise and Silver jewelry from a very young age. It might be from when I lived in Arizona for a brief period, granted I was only 4 lol, but it did make a lasting impression. My mother loved Turquoise jewelry and had quite a few pieces from our time in Arizona and that may have ingrained in me as well. I have avoided making Turquoise jewelry for a very long time as its quite common to get forgeries made of other stones and some plastics, but thanks to a new friend in Nevada who collects and polishes all his own stones personally I’m very happy to be making southwest inspired jewelry with a Timothy’s Trinkets spin.

For this beauty I hand formed the mount for the stone using graduated balls of silver to add a unique little detail to the ring. The shank of the ring bears a cross hatched pattern and lends well to the design. The pictures do not do this stone justice! The White Water Turquoise has some amazing flecks of metal in it that really make the face of the stone shine.

This ring comes in a size 4 1/2.
