Gorgeous Turquoise & Sterling Ring with Rocker Stamps

A gorgeous turquoise and sterling ring in a hard-to-find large size. Bright blue turquoise, shattered with a dark, silvery matrix, nestles in a deep, scalloped bezel. The turquoise is likely Morenci. Arcing rocker designs embellish the scallops, and stamped circles ring the bezel. Quadruple-split shoulders taper into a wide, flat band. This wonderful piece is signed by the artist. The maker's mark is a Gothic letter "P" over a slim crescent. Circa 1980.

The Morenci turquoise mine is located in Southeastern Arizona, in operation since 1864. This mine produces a wide range of colors; the most desirable turquoise is a deep blue color with a heavy iron pyrite matrix.
