A seldom encountered gem grade natural Paiute turquoise was selected for this exciting ring hand made by Darryl Begay. Paiute was mined off and on in central Nevada, although little gem grade turquoise was discovered. The highest grade is deep blue with dark black spiderweb host rock matrix. Small amounts surface rarely out of old collections. This particular specimen is marvelous. Darryl has tufa cast the shank with ridged outlines on the sides. The center is naturally textured from the tufa stone and is brightly polished so that it glows with intensity on the finger. Due to the rarity and quality of the stone, the gem is set in a heavy solid 18 karat gold bezel hand cast from ingot. The finished ring is beautiful and with all of his work, a fine collectible.
Ring Size: 9 Stone Size: 9/16 in. x 3/8 in. This piece can be easily re-sized upon request for an additional $25.00 fee.
