This captivating ring by Geraldine James showcases a harmonious blend of spiny oyster, coral, and Kingman Turquoise stones, exuding a vibrant and enchanting aura.
Meticulously handcrafted with precision and passion, this ring features a sturdy, yet elegant band made from high-quality sterling silver. At the heart of the design lies a large spiny oyster cabochon, framed by ten round coral shell stones and two brilliant blue Kingman turquoise gemstones. The contrast of these three materials creates both a unique balance between warm and cool tones.
With a history spanning over a millennium, the Kingman Turquoise Mine is one of America's earliest and most prolific sources of turquoise. Discovered by ancient indigenous peoples over 1000 years ago, Kingman turquoise boasts an enchanting sky-blue hue, offering a spectrum of blue variations. The mine’s legacy is intertwined with the history of the American Southwest and has served as the largest turquoise supplier in the jewelry trade since the late nineteenth century.
