King Manassa Turquoise Folded Bezel Ringsz 6 1/2

The stone in this ring comes from the king manassas mine, in Colorado. This turquoise is getting harder and harder to find as this mine is no longer active. This piece presents the deep color with golden matrix that the mine was known for. It's set in my unique, silver folded bezel setting. This setting makes for a simple but one-of-a-kind piece. The edges are hand textured. The band is hand forged from a vintage die. All silver marked with my artist's hallmark. This ring best fits a size 6 1/2 and is not adjustable. The face of the ring is approximately 15mm by 15mm.
 
Small batch. All sterling. One-of-a-kind. Hand built in the heart of the West.
 
+About king manassa turquoise:
This beautiful turquoise comes from a very old mine, near Manassa, in south central Colorado. Turquoise has been mined by Native Americans there for centuries. Since the 1890's, the King family has owned the mine. Pieces are typically heavily saturated, darker colors, especially deep greens and teals with a rich golden brown matrix. Unfortunately, the mine is no longer active, making this turquoise rare to see on the market. Interesting fact; the mine was once called the Lick Skillet Mine.
 
+ Details: 
+ All pieces are slowly and carefully handmade, in my studio in Sheridan, Wyoming. Because of this, each piece is unique and may contain the slight imperfections that you would expect with a handcrafted item. Perfectly imperfect!
+ As with all handmade jewelry, please be mindful to take care of it. It should not be worn in the shower, while cleaning, during strenuous activities such as sports, or in the water.
+ Sun, heat, lotions and chemicals can affect stones negatively. Clean silver (not stones) with a gentle polishing cloth, especially for jewelry (Sunshine polishing cloth is recommended and included with your purchase).
