Bloom Valley Turquoise Folded Bezel Ring 5 1/4

This lovely, ice-blue stone comes from the Bloom Valley area of China. The color is just stunning and the green tinged spiderwebbing adds to it's beauty. It's set in my unique, silver folded bezel setting. This setting makes for a simple but one-of-a-kind piece. The edges are hand textured. The band is hand forged from a vintage die. All silver marked with my artist's hallmark. This ring best fits a size 5 1/4 and is not adjustable. The face of the ring is approximately 23mm by 11mm.
 
Small batch. All sterling. One-of-a-kind. Hand built in the heart of the West.
 
+About Chinese turquoise:
Turquoise has been mined in China for around 3700 years. It's found mostly in the Mashaan and Hubei Provences. There is much beautiful and valuable turquoise that comes from China and, as American mines play out and close, Chinese turquoise becomes more and more valuable.
 
+ Details: 
+ All pieces are slowly and carefully handmade, in my studio in Sheridan, Wyoming. Because of this, each piece is unique and may contain the slight imperfections that you would expect with a handcrafted item. Perfectly imperfect!
+ As with all handmade jewelry, please be mindful to take care of it. It should not be worn in the shower, while cleaning, during strenuous activities such as sports, or in the water.
+ Sun, heat, lotions and chemicals can affect stones negatively. Clean silver (not stones) with a gentle polishing cloth, especially for jewelry (Sunshine polishing cloth is recommended and included with your purchase).
