Vintage Turquoise & Sterling Dome Ring
 
Talk about a statement piece!  This cabochon cut turquoise ring would look great as a ladies ring or gent's pinky ring.  The color is medium in saturation with natural dark veining.   There are some superficial cracks that follow the natural veining (see photos), that do NOT hinder stability.  The stone is nice and secure in a sterling setting and band.  The bezel setting is adorned with hand etched designs.  The band is 9mm wide at the base and sides and there is a superficial crack on the inside of band from a previous sizing.  Does not run through to other side or hinder stability.  Dress up your jeans and boots with this showstopper.
