Treasure Mountain Turquoise and Leaf Ring

This treasure mountain turquoise is so amazing! The teal pops of color blow me away. As always, it’s much prettier in person. I patterned the wide band with a natural design that I think goes perfectly with the pattern in the stone. It reminds me of spring and summer, a crackled earth design. The patina I added helps bring out that pattern. The leaves are silver castings of real strawberry leaves. I sawed out the silver surrounding them and hand notched all along the sides to mimic the jagged edge of each leaf. I made a matching cuff, as seen in these photos, which is available to purchase separately.

This ring measures a size 7.5 US on my mandrel but due to the wide width of the band, it will fit around a 6.75. Please contact me if you have any questions about the sizing!

Turquoise has been worn and used for years for it’s energy balancing benefits. It is a stone that promotes strength, courage, stability and inner calm.

I take great pride in my curated stone collection. The gems I use in my jewelry are ethically sourced. No two are exactly alike! In addition to these variations, inclusions and irregularities are not flaws but rather a reflection of nature’s beauty.

This piece has been hand forged by me in my little studio using methods that have been around for hundreds of years. All metal used on this piece is solid 999 fine silver and solid 925 sterling silver. I use recycled fine silver and recycled sterling silver whenever possible.

This ring will arrive beautifully gift wrapped.

⚒️This turquoise is rare. It is sourced near Qingu, Hubei, and is famous for its spellbinding variety of beautiful body colors and distinctive matrix patterns.
It’s easy to see why this area is where most of my favorite turquoise comes from. ⚒️
