Royston Turquoise Ring in Sterling Silver, Size 7.5
Only 1 left
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.
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.
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.

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.

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.
