Estate Originals 18K Yellow Gold 20.93 Carat Oval Shaped Cabochon Cut Turquoise Ring

This bold ring is centrally set with a 20.93 carat oval shaped cabochon cut turquoise, set east/west within prongs stemming from the 'V' shaped split shank. 

Turquoise forms underground within an iron-rich hosting rock or mother stone over thousands of years. Not all the material of the host rock changes to turquoise, which leaves fragments of other types of natural material within the turquoise stones. The turquoise matrix is the term used to describe the remaining host material found in turquoise stones and can resemble splotches or veins. This material can be a wide range of elements from quartz to metallic pyrite to sandstone, each adding unique qualities to the final stone. The combination of colours of the stone and matrix can form beautiful shapes and patterns. The calico pattern consists of layers of three or more colours from three different elements. The pattern gets its name from the fur patterns on a calico cat.
