The Mohave turquoise cabochon at the center is that rich, vivid blue green with just enough natural matrix to remind you it came from the earth. I set it into a bezel I formed by hand and then surrounded it with a detailed filigree halo, layer by layer, until the whole face had that sun burst, mandala like presence you see in the photo.
The band is a tri split design I made to give the ring some visual weight underneath without competing with that face. It flows up naturally into the setting and feels really solid on the hand. The oxidized finish on the silver brings out every bit of the detail work and makes the turquoise pop even more against it.
This is a bold, confident ring. The kind you put on and feel something shift.

The Stone
Mohave Turquoise
Mohave turquoise comes from the Kingman mine in Arizona, one of the most respected turquoise sources in the American Southwest. It is known for its bright, saturated color and is a natural, untreated stone, which is increasingly hard to find.
Metaphysical Properties
Turquoise has been worn as a protective stone for thousands of years across many cultures. It is tied to the throat chakra and is said to support honest, clear communication and the courage to speak what is true. It is also known as a stone of wholeness, bringing the mind, body, and spirit into alignment. Many people work with turquoise during times of change or when they need grounding and a sense of personal strength. It carries a very old, steady kind of energy that feels both protective and expansive at the same time.
Metaphysical properties are based on spiritual traditions and are not intended as medical advice.
Care Instructions
Turquoise is a porous stone and needs a little thoughtfulness. Remove this ring before washing your hands, swimming, showering, doing dishes, or applying lotion, sunscreen, or perfume. Moisture and chemicals can affect both the stone and the oxidized finish on the silver over time.
To clean, use a soft dry cloth only. No water, no soap, no silver dips, and no ultrasonic cleaners. These can strip the oxidized patina I worked into the metal and can damage the turquoise. Store it in a soft pouch or lined box away from other jewelry to prevent scratching.
To cleanse energetically, sound or smoke are the safest options for turquoise. Avoid water cleansing methods and keep it out of prolonged direct sunlight, which can fade the stone's color over time.
Every piece I make is one of a kind and listed once. I photograph in natural light so you can see the piece as honestly as possible. Natural variation in turquoise is part of what makes it real, and this ring is exactly as pictured.
