Description:
This striking sterling silver statement ring by Gabby Jurado features a large, oval-cut Number 8 turquoise cabochon. The stone showcases a beautiful light greenish-blue hue interrupted by a tight, intricate dark spiderweb matrix. Number 8 turquoise, originally discovered in Eureka County, Nevada, is highly sought after by collectors because the mine has been closed and depleted since the 1970s. This scarcity, combined with its signature golden-brown to black spiderweb matrix against pale blue or green backgrounds, makes it one of the most recognizable and valuable stones in classic Southwestern jewelry.
The heavy sterling silver setting perfectly complements the stone, featuring a secure bezel framed by a textured silver beaded border and a deep, stamped outer edge. The wide, scalloped silver band tapers elegantly down the finger and displays deep, fluted detailing along the shoulders. The silver retains a gorgeous natural patina in the recessed areas, highlighting the depth and craftsmanship of the piece without stripping away its character. Please refer directly to photos for exact visual details on the stone's matrix and the silversmithing.Item Specifics:
