A 10 carat oval cabochon in pale powder blue, threaded with fine brown matrix, bezel set in silver. One of a kind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGolden Hills is the soft one. It comes out of Kazakhstan rather than the American Southwest, and it is prized for a color almost nothing else produces: a pale, chalky, lavender-leaning blue that looks nothing like the deep Nevada blues. The matrix in it runs fine and chocolate brown, more like a drawing than a fracture. Collectors go looking for this material specifically because it is the quietest turquoise on the market and still unmistakably turquoise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat pale color is what makes it wearable in places a strong blue is not. It sits well against neutrals, works year round rather than reading seasonal, and does not fight with other jewelry. A good gift for someone who says turquoise is too loud for her, because this is the answer to that objection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Golden Hills cabochon is cut and backed at Cutting Edge Turquoise before it goes into a setting. Backing matters more with softer material like this, and it is why the stone can be worn rather than shelved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRing size: 7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStone: Genuine Golden Hills turquoise, natural brown matrix\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStone size: 10 carats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStone shape: Oval cabochon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetal: Sterling silver, .925\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSetting: Bezel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMakers: Joyce Benavidez and Jill Monfiletto, Cutting Edge Turquoise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStone cut and backed by: Cutting Edge Turquoise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: One-of-a-kind, only one available\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho made it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJoyce Benavidez and Jill Monfiletto built this ring at Cutting Edge Turquoise, our family turquoise and lapidary business, around a stone cut in their own shop. That is not how most turquoise jewelry gets made. Usually the rough passes from a dealer to a cutter to a silversmith to a gallery, and nobody along that chain has seen both ends of it. Here the same hands chose the rough, cut the cabochon, and set it in silver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it fit you\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis ring exists in one size only: 7.
