!! Great Turquoise Mountain Stone !!
Calvin used a beautiful Turquoise Mountain stone and set it in one of his great Revival style settings. The stone has a very Deep Watery Blue color with a Rich Rust Red matrix. The stone is set in a tiny serrated bezel, surrounded by rope, then beaded wire, with curved wire and sterling droplets on one side for an unusual look that is terrific. The shank is tri split, stamped and heavy weight for a substantial feel. All of this is done expertly and with Calvin's own brand of artistic flare for creating a beautiful Revival style ring. He has finished it with a brushed antique matte and just the right amount of oxidation for a great Old Style Southwestern look.
The face measures approximately 1 3/8" by 1 1/8", it is a size 9 1/4 and weighs 20.3 grams of sterling and stone.
You will never go wrong with any of Calvin's jewelry! His work is pristine, captivating and built to last for generations.
It is Sterling Silver, like all of our jewelry and Native American made.
