Ivory striations define the unique Kingman turquoise gemstone at the heart of this beautiful ring by Navajo jeweler Hemerson Brown. A rope-style bezel and sterling silver drops encircle the oval stone, accentuating its natural shape. The highly polished simple band and overlay designs completes this elegant accessory.
With a history spanning over a millennium, the Kingman Turquoise Mine is one of America's earliest and most prolific sources of turquoise. Discovered by ancient indigenous peoples over 1000 years ago, Kingman turquoise boasts an enchanting sky-blue hue, offering a spectrum of blue variations. The mine’s legacy is intertwined with the history of the American Southwest, as has served as the largest turquoise supplier in the jewelry trade since the late nineteenth century.
