Silver Hubei Turquoise Saddle Ring—Sterling Silver Saddle Ring with Hammered Copper Nuggets—Statement Ring—US 9—Ready-to-Ship
A green-blue Hubei Turquoise, an elongated oval, sits atop a sterling silver saddle ring. Surrounding the stone are 12 copper nuggets, made from my scrap pile. Each little nugget started out as discarded copper, and was then torched into a molten ball. Next, each copper drop was hammered flat, then carefully hammered again to add the facets. Though the stone be modest in size, this ring has some heft to it due to the solid copper nuggets, and the thick sterling silver ring. It is very comfortable to wear. Stars and sparkles have been stamped on the bottom of the ring band because, why not? I have oxidized this ring with a rainbow [or oil slick] patina, the polished it back to enhance the textures and give it a slightly rustic vibe. My makers mark has been stamped on the inside of the ring.
This is the exact saddle ring you will receive. It is a US 9, but because it's a saddle ring with a wide band, it will fit a bit smaller than that. Please take this into consideration when purchasing. Photos have been taken in both direct sun and diffused natural light.
