#8 Turquoise--Size: 7 1/2 by Gary Reeves
$270.00
Item: CR-499
Each ring is different; not only because each stone is distinctive, but also because the stampwork is different on each ring and so are the appliquées. This is a wide shank ring; a little wider in front and tapering a bit towards the back of the shank. The stone is set in a straight-edged bezel on a foundational plate. The bezel is wrapped with twisted square wire which forms the edge of the ring face. This is a very solid ring set with a pale blue teardrop of natural, untreated Number Eight turquoise from Nevada. Signed, 'G.Reeves' and stamped "Sterling" inside.
Stone: 1/2" x 5/8"
Width of shank in back: 3/8"
Size: 7 1/2
