FINE JEWELRY MADE TO BE WORN
Indulge in a masterwork centered on Nevada’s legendary Number 8 turquoise. This hand-forged solitaire ring pairs a rare, untreated cabochon—drawn from pre-1950s reserves—with the quiet strength of platinum and the warmth of 22 karat gold. The stone’s sky-blue field, traced with golden spiderweb matrix, speaks to a vanished mine and a finite legacy. A luminous gold bezel heightens its color, while subtle diamond accents offer restrained brilliance. Forged and finished by hand in our mountain atelier, every surface carries intention. More than adornment, it is a wearable artifact—an heirloom of geology, history, and enduring craft.
