Sterling Silver Inlay Turquoise Variscite Copper Ring

This sterling silver ring features an inlay cabochon formed with turquoise and copper. I bezel set this large cabochon and framed it with silver rope. It has a split shank to support the large stone, and a closed back which helps protect the cabochon, and adds substantial silver weight. The setting measures 1 1/4” in length and the ring is a size 6 ¼”.

Inlay cabochons like this one are hand formed with natural materials. Although they are referred to as “inlay”, they are actually compression and heat formed. I don’t often use “formed” stones in my pieces, but these ones have such beautiful color combinations, I couldn’t resist.
