Sleeping Beauty Turquoise retailer Ring Size 3 1/2

I have always loved the color of Sleeping Beauty retailer turquoise. It is another turquoise that comes from the magical turquoise mecca around Kingman, Arizona. The pure blue color of Sleeping Beauty turquoise is often compared to the color of Persian turquoise which is considered by many (mostly Persians) to be the finest examples of the mineral anywhere in the world. Sleeping Beauty is often devoid of very much matrix and its mineral purity is prized by many stonecutters for that reason.

This handmade sterling silver ring has a hand stamped outside trim and tiny inner rope trim. As a size 3 1/2, it is a popular size for a pinky ring or child's ring. It is artist stamped, dated and sterling stamped.
