Stunning old stock Hubei turquoise finished in a 14k gold-fill setting with adjustable band to size up if needed. This turquoise is not heat treated— hence to beautiful natural hues— so avoid prolonged exposure to moisture if you want to retain the original coloring.
Size 6-7, only two available
Disclosure: Gold-fill is a layer of 14k gold over a base metal, thicker than gold-plating and generally more durable. It is an economical alternative solid gold, but a challenging material to work with. Fabrication of a ring involves flame and clean-up, which can remove the gold layer in spots exposing the base metal underneath. All gold-fill sample sale items have been photographed to show the tarnish of the base metal — which I find charming in the wabi-sabi spirit— and priced accordingly. The base metal layer can be polished to renew the shine. All sales are final. Please reach out if you have any questions prior to purchase: telleterhorst [at] gmail.com
