ELEGANT GREEN TURQUOISE FLOWER CLUSTER
9ct YELLOW GOLD RING. LONDON ASSAY - 1966!

This absolutely stunning piece has nature as its theme! The ring head has been set into a flower design, with a central round cut claw set 2mm cabochon green turquoise gemstone, which is surrounded by 6 x 2mm round cabochon claw set green turquoise stones, set as the petals. All the turquoise stones are a green colour, except for one, which is a brighter blue. Turquoise does change over the years and the natural stone comes in a range of colour from bright blue turquoise to sea-green. Hard to know if the ring housed the stones as they stand now of if someone replaced one of the green stones with a bluer shade at some stage. All the stones are authenticated real. The shank splits in two, flowing into two elongated graceful leaf-like strands with interesting fine criss-cross patterns, connecting to the ring head.

This ring bears the hallmarks '375' for 9ct yellow gold, the jeweller's signature, the London Assay signature and the date mark for 1966. It might be 50 years old but the ring is in good condition. The textured part of the shoulder shows some wear and tear. The hallmarks are also worn but still legible. The whole ring has a olde worlde feel to it. I don't often come across vintage turquoise jewellery set in real gold. Definitely a special vintage piece!

Turquoise is a calming stone, and is excellent for lifting depression and exhaustion.
