1970's Gem Grade Lander Blue Turquoise Ring

1970's Gem Grade Lander Blue Turquoise Ring

Talk about a flashback, features of this ring are truly reminiscent of the 1970's style of gold smithing. The overly large, hand stamped and filed leaves capped with a delicate flower and gold accent balls are classic features. A plain, notched bezel and a simple half-round shank clearly dates the piece. The only thing that might add to its aura would be a pair of bell-bottom pants and a paisley print acrylic shirt. What makes this 14 karat gold ring special is a highly unusual cabochon of gem-grade Lander Blue turquoise. Pitch black matrix surrounds islands of intense blue polka dots. This is the rarest and most valuable turquoise ever mined. There are certain things that never go out of style, they simply get better with age; Lander Blue turquoise is surely one of those things.
