The Turquoise is set in a textured dark accent. The band is smooth and polished, ending on the other side stamped and rounded dome in 14k Gold .  

This ring has an open design, and therefore is flexible in sizing. This ring is photographed at size 8.5, but can be adjusted to sizes 7.5 - 9.5. 

The No. 8 turquoise mine in Nevada was discovered in 1925 and first mined in 1929. At present, the mine is closed to turquoise mining. Almost all the turquoise produced was of the spider web type, with the matrix varying from golden brown to black. The colours grade from light blue to dark blue, some with interesting tints of green.  No. 8 turquoise has characteristic colours and matrix patterns that are easily identified.
