Birdseye Kingman turquoise rises proud in this ring by acclaimed artisan Bernyse Chavez. Showcasing exquisite blue hues with a hint of green and a gold and rich brown matrix, this stone at the center of this ring seems to sparkle. Chavez' mastery appears in the stone's setting and the intricate silver-work that surrounds it; this ring is truly a master's artwork and a bold, beautiful, and bright addition to any collection.
Birdseye refers to a type of turquoise akin to Spiderweb turquoise, but distinct in that it features a light blue base with a complementary blue matrix rather than dark patterns. This configuration yields a unique visual effect where cross-cut stones reveal numerous pockets of lighter blue stone enveloped by darker blue matrix, resembling a bird's eye. Birdseye turquoise, a rarity, can only be found in a few mines, including the Kingman Turquoise Mine located in Arizona.
