Imagine the most beautiful greenish-blue Turquoise from the southwest, then add a shimmer to the surface: that’s Amazonite. This is a particularly fine specimen with the coveted hue, somewhere between vintage jadeite glass green and robin’s egg blue. The Amazonite is a large specimen, over an inch long, with subtle white veining in the gem that provides a fascinating shimmer in the light. It is set in a yellow gold bezel with a split shank solitaire, but it has a large enough presence to be considered a cocktail ring- perfect for a middle finger. If you love Turquoise, jadeite, 1950’s car colors, or unusual gems, then this may be for you.

Details: estate 14k yellow gold ring set with 5ct+ oval cabochon Amazonite, ring circa 1970.
