Fox Mine Turquoise Ring in 22k Gold & Sterling Silver
An old stock untreated 7.2 carat Fox mine turquoise from the late great Karl Lee Gem Collection is set in this crisp and bold piece. A long low domed oval turquoise is presented in a smooth and minimal orientation that does not obfuscate the untreated color and structure of this gem specimen; its a gem forward ring! Fox Mine turquoise out of Nevada is iconic for its blue and under toned greens that distinguish it from other turquoise specimens. In this piece, runs a mineral rich brown and tan matrix that tells the story of its formation and natural attributes that so often compliment the blue hues of turquoise nuggets. Set in a buttery 22 karat gold bezel, the closed backed top setting streamlines into a wide shank of sterling silver. High polish finished. 12 mm shank width. Top measurements of 19.8 mm vertical x 13.75 x 4.6 mm gem height. Ring size 7.75.
