2-stone Blue Gem turquoise ring

Vintage 1970's Navajo ring. Made of solid sterling silver with genuine Blue Gem turquoise. The unique handmade 2-stone setting measures 1-1/2" x 1/2" with a leaf over design. It all sets on a split wire shank. The size of the ring makes it a perfect fit for almost any finger. The coloring of the stones make this a special piece.

STONE: The Blue Gem Turquoise Mine was in the Copper Basin area southwest of Battle Mountain, Nevada, USA. Production of this turquoise mine started about 1934 and continued until the 1970's. Blue Gem Turquoise is still some of the finest turquoise ever found, and unlike most turquoise mines, most of the turquoise found there was of gem-quality. There is a distinctive aqua color that some people associate with Blue Gem turquoise, although it produced a great variety of colors, especially when intense blue was combined with deep green in one stone.
