Forged in the Appalachian Mountains entirely from raw ingot silver — no castings, no prefabricated parts — this statement ring is built the old school way. Every element you see was shaped by hand: the heavy stepped bezel, the twisted wire accent, the geometric stampwork panels running the length of the shank, the hand-cut negative space in the side plates. Nothing here came from a catalog. The stone is a natural Royston turquoise cabochon. Mined and cabbed from the Nevada Springs mine — the same source as every stone in this collection. 9.6 carats of electric teal with warm brown iron matrix running through it like a fault line. Exactly as it came out of the ground.
