Royston Turquoise Ring in Sterling Silver, Size 7.5

A Royston turquoise ring in sterling silver, size 7 1/2. An 11 carat oval cabochon moving from green to blue across the face, with golden brown matrix, bezel set in silver. One of a kind. It is made to be worn, whether you put it on every day or save it for special occasions.

Royston is the one collectors name when they want color range in a single stone. The mine sits in Nevada and it is known for material that shifts from deep green through to sky blue within the same cabochon, held together by a host rock that runs gold and brown rather than black. No two Royston stones break the same way, which is exactly why people collect it.

The green-and-gold combination makes this an easier stone to wear with warm metals and earth tones than a straight blue turquoise would be. If someone already owns blue turquoise and wants a second piece that does not duplicate the first, Royston is the standard answer. It also suits a Southwestern or Santa Fe wardrobe and makes a gift for anyone who loves turquoise.

Every Royston cabochon is cut and backed at Cutting Edge Turquoise before it goes into a setting. Backing is what lets a stone with this much variation in it stand up to daily wear, so you can reach for this ring as an everyday favorite as well as a bold ring for occasions.

Who made it
Joyce 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.

Will it fit you
This ring exists in one size only: 7 1/2. There is no second one in another size, because there is no second stone. If you are unsure of your size or you are between sizes, message me before you order and I will help you work it out.

Gifting
This ring was made with collectors and turquoise lovers in mind. It also works as a gift for a birthday, an anniversary or any day you want to give a silver ring she will not see on anyone else.
