Evans Turquoise Ring, Sterling Silver Fabricated Size 6.75

I set this turquoise oval cabochon from the Evans mine in a thick, decorative sterling silver setting. The ring is a comfort fit thick, low domed silver band which measures 6.75 on my ring mandrel.  The Evans Mine is located in Baja, California. It is one of the few mines south of the border that has yielded such a wide variety of turquoise. Colors range from a high blue with a beautiful brown matrix to a green with gold matrix. The formation runs from thin veins of dark blue turquoise to nuggets to flats. There is an extremely limited amount of this material on the market because the mine was covered up in the 1990’48
