925 Silver Turquoise Cluster Size N. Updated this after talking to a friend in the US who is a dealer in native items. The setting is quite clean and unfussy.
Genuine turquoise stones and sterling silver and is quite a substantial ring. The stones are a great size and such characters.
The way they are varied from one another and still look good together. The ring is hallmarked and handmade. The ring is good condition and quite stunning. One is raised (domed) and the other two are flatter. He assures me that given that it was bought from a reputable dealer in Arizona and I have had it for 30 years I should be sure. The stones also appear to be from mines in the area and not the Turkish mines. I like to do my homework before describing anything.Its always a learning process. All my items are priced against the market value often well below retail rates because there is no premises, no marketing etc. So these means well made items made from natural and ethically sourced materials. A lot of my jewellery although costume/ethnic was vintage when I acquired it.
It's been loved and looked after and now ready for new adventures. Where items are not in the best state they will be descried accurately and priced accordingly. Very rarely I have bought some high street items of jewellery from cheap places like Les. With real metal, rocks and gemstones there is less chance of damage and the value will last. All our my items are genuine and as described.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
