Silver Hand Made Ring with Single Tear Drop with Rare No. 8 Turquoise

A Timeless Piece: Sterling Silver Ring with Rare No. 8 Turquoise

This magnificent sterling silver ring centers on a striking teardrop-shaped No. 8 turquoise cabochon. Celebrated by collectors, the Number 8 mine turquoise exhibits a stunning light blue hue crisscrossed with highly prized, intricate copper web matrix-a signature of this historic Nevada mine.

The beautiful gemstone is elegantly framed, set securely in a fine silver bezel and further accentuated by scalloped silver detailing. This delicate, handcrafted artistry beautifully enhances the stone's natural beauty and reflects the rich jewelry-making traditions of the Diné of the Navajo Nation and it was probably made by one of their artists.

This piece is more than an adornment; it's a slice of history. The Number 8 mine in Eureka County, Nevada, is a renowned but now largely defunct source of high-quality turquoise, making this stone increasingly scarce. A striking blend of history and artistry, this ring is a timeless, heirloom-quality piece perfect for collectors and those who cherish unique, handcrafted jewelry.
