Vintage 18K gold Turquoise Dome Ring
The beautiful dome ring impresses us by its exceptional work of gold, architectural structure which is unique and unusual, as well as the harmony created between the sky-blue color of the turquoise and the buttery gold of its mounting. The ring is made in circa 1940/50s.
5 gold wires twisted and bended together like a ribbon to form a high dome setting, embracing 4 lovely turquoises beads in the center. The work of the gold highlights even more the softness and luster conveyed by the turquoise beads. All together, they complement each other perfectly. The ring looks intriguing and very chic from each angle!
Turquoise is one of the world’s most ancient gems. Archaeological excavations revealed that Egyptian royalty wore turquoise jewelry as early as 5500 BC, and Chinese artisans were carving it more than 3,000 years ago. Turquoise is the national gem of Tibet, and has long been considered a stone that guarantees health, good fortune, and protection from evil. Turquoise was a ceremonial gem and a medium of exchange.
This ring will be a lovely gift to offer or to receive!
