Turquoise in organic sterling silver ring, handmade December birthstone

Turquoise has been worn across Persia for thousands of years, and this ring carries that history quietly. It holds one natural oval turquoise in organic sterling silver (925), hand fabricated by Roozbeh, whose own heritage is Persian, at the Rooz Jewellery studio in Toronto. The sky-to-sea blue, sometimes veined with fine lines of matrix, is part of its beauty, and December wearers can claim it as their birthstone. Turquoise is a softer gem, about 5 to 6 on the Mohs scale, and it can be affected by oils, perfume and water, so remove the ring before swimming or cleaning and polish it gently with a dry cloth. This is a single-stone ring with no diamonds. No two are alike, and the colour in photos may differ a little from the stone. Size 7 is available; ask Roozbeh about other sizes.
