DESCRIPTION: This oversized turquoise cabochon ring is likely from the 70s, when turquoise enjoyed a big revival. The bezel-set stone is huge and has the beautiful Kingman sky-blue color and a reddish-brown matrix. The design is clean and simple, and the setting is of high quality and substantial. There's a lot of silver on this ring! Weighs 10 grams. Ring appears to have been artisan crafted and is marked only with "925." This can be worn on index, middle, or ring finger.

SIZE: Approximate size 6. Stone is about 1 1/4" long and 7/8" across, measured in the setting.

CONDITION: Overall excellent. There are two imperfections in the stone, which appear much larger in the photos than actual size. These may be the normal pits and small holes you see in turquoise or may have been done in the cutting. I can't say for sure. Otherwise, this is near mint. I've priced it to account for the imperfections. If they bother you, a jeweler should be able to fill these with epoxy or resin, or you may be able to if you do your own jewelry repairs.
