The base of this ring is a combination of three silver wires soldered together at the mid-point and individually soldered to a curved silver backing. Mounted on the backing is a beautiful sky blue turquoise cab that is drilled with a hole, which may indicate it was once a tab earring. The silver backing has the effect of a shield which visually elevates the turquoise stone to more prominence. The stone is a beautiful blue with an excellent array of copper-colored matrix.
Condition: very good condition
