This ring is definitely for advanced turquoise lovers :) It can be for beginners too, but they should be introduced to the beauty (and personality) of natural turquoise first so this stone can stay happy with them for a very long time :)
Natural, unstabilized Carico Lake turquoise is one of the rarest types of turquoise in the world. Each stone comes from a small mine in Nevada, and due to limited mining, it is highly valued, even among collectors. True, untreated Carico Lake turquoise makes up only a tiny percent of all finds, and most Carico Lake turquoise on the market is stabilized. That’s why natural pieces like this one are considered truly special.
Treat it like a living stone
When you care for it, it develops a soft natural patina over time, enhancing its character and beauty even more.
Recommended care
-
Wear it with respect, but don’t be afraid to actually wear it. Natural turquoise develops a beautiful patinated look through wear.
-
After wearing, gently wipe it with a soft dry cloth.
-
Store it separately, ideally in a soft pouch or a dedicated jewelry box, so it won’t scratch against other pieces.
Avoid
-
Water and chemicals — turquoise is porous and absorbs liquids (which can change its color).
-
Avoid perfume, lotions, oils, chlorine, detergents, sanitizer, hairspray touching the stone.
-
Do not expose to strong sunlight or UV for long periods — slight fading can occur.
-
Never use ultrasonic or commercial jewelry cleaners — that’s basically the death of natural turquoise.
Wear it with love. It’s a living stone with a desert soul. 🌵
This ring is entirely handcrafted from 925 sterling silver (oxidized and polished) and features a natural Carico Lake turquoise stone, hand-cut with care in a small workshop in Phoenix.
The official ring size is US 9 (EU 60) — which I consider the upper limit. Due to the nature of the shank, it fits beautifully on US 8,5 - 8,75 (EU size 58 – 59.5). Resizing is not possible.
