Large Hand-Stamped Oval Sonoran Gold Turquoise Ring by Tim Vandever

This timeless artisanal ring features a genuine Sonoran Gold turquoise in an oval shape framed by hand-stamped details in a solid sterling silver setting.

Sonoran Gold is mined in Mexico, near the City of Cananea. Relatively new in the market, this type of turquoise is a newer deposit in the Cananea mines located at Campitos Mountain. In the turquoise market, the high-grade type of Sonoran Gold turquoise is a two-tone, usually, the one that fades from baby blue to lime green. It also has a golden to brown spider-web like matrix. This turquoise is not mined in veins, but as individual nuggets that are typically found in clay deposits.
