THE RING

The beauty of Southwestern turquoise jewelry gets taken up a few notches, where the elegance of Baroque pearls are paired with turquoise which give the ring a sweet feminine touch & very contemporary feel.

Dictating the shape and size of the ring, is based on the 2-1/2" x 1-1/2" massively HUGE pear cut of turquoise that originates from the Royston mine and was apart of the late Larry Cooley's collection.(Click on Larry's name in each category to learn more about him!) It has some fabulous golden to dark brown matrix patterns that stand with it's teal coloring. The turquoise is natural & untreated since this was mined long before they started treating turquoise.(Reflected in the price) I don't know how many carats there are, but all I can say is there's ALOT!

Contributing to the width & length of the ring, are 17 chunky sized 9 mm Baroque pearls (About 3/8" ea.) that act as a 'frame' or 'Halo' and lay along the entire perimeter for the turquoise.. The pearls & turquoise are soldered atop of a generous amount of sterling and actually weighs more than some cuffs and necklaces!! It has a mirror polished sterling, which gives it it's contemporary edginess.

THE ADJUSTABLE BYPASS SHANK:

**If you zoom in on the last photo, you will notice the bypass shank. Slightly pointed on one end & opened in the center on the other end, allows this to be adjusted, but only if you need it bigger.. I can increase it for you,but I do not suggest going anymore than a size to no more than a size and a half.

A WORD:

** Anything with Larry’s turquoise will come with a higher price tag, based on not only the rarity ,but the quality.-**Artist, turquoise quality, cost per carat for the quality, amount of carats, sterling cost & artists time are also reflected in price**
