Handcrafted Natural Tibetan Turquoise Set into 925 Silver Bezel Set Ring, NWT

Handcrafted Natural Tibetan Turquoise set into 925 Silver Bezel Set Ring Main Stone: Tibetan Turquoise Metal: 925 Sterling Silver Ring size: 7 Country/Region of Manufacture: India Brand new with tags, NWT Tibetan Turquoise is a rare luxury that is mined in the Himalayas – ours specifically is from the area around Lhasa in the Himalayan area. Lhasa is known as one of the 4 locations where the finest quality Tibetan Turquoise is sourced, the others being Ngari-Khorsum, Draya and Derge. For thousands of years, Tibetan Turquoise has been prized and coveted by Tibetan and Nepalese people for its alluring beauty and spiritual values. Each piece displays a striking colour and unique pattern, caused by the matrix showing through on the finished pieces. This is another of the sought after vales associated with this gem as each piece has a unique pattern put there by Mother Nature. Tibetan children will always be given a piece of Tibetan Turquoise jewellery in their early years, and it’s believed this will act as a protector and stop them from falling. (Some of these villages are high in the mountains where fear of falling would be a real and dangerous concern.) Throughout their lives they will “upgrade” their Turquoise talisman several times for bigger and finer pieces, and seeking a larger and cleaner piece can become a lifelong pursuit, such is the importance of the gem in this culture.
