Royston Turquoise Sterling Silver Ring

This sterling silver ring features an old stock Royston turquoise cabochon.  One of my turquoise suppliers specializes in vintage and antique turquoise cabochons from the estates of silver artists and miners…many of these cabochons are super rare as they come from mines that closed decades ago.  The one used here is a beautiful and rare Royston turquoise…one of the most sought after by collectors. It is bezel set and framed with rope, before an antique style patina was applied. The turquoise setting measures just over 1” in length, and the double band ring shank is size 7.
