We are pleased to offer this lovely African Turquoise solitaire ring. The stone has lovely veins of color. Silver plated wire has been used to create the intricate wire work which cradles the gorgeous 12x16mm solitaire. Turquoise is a powerful crystal for relieving stress. It is also said to protect against pollution in the environment, and to bring abundance. Turquoise is said to also help speed the healing process, and is known as a master healer stone. It is very powerful for grounding and protection also. Turquoise is associated with the throat chakra primarily. The ring pictured is size 8. We are happy to create your personal ring in sizes 6-10. Each will be unique but similar to the one pictured. Because each piece is individually hand crafted, there will be slight variations in the creation of each ring. If you require a ring smaller than size 6 or larger than size 10, please contact us. All of our jewelry is artisan crafted with pride here in the United States. ITEM #0207DWJ
