Tibet Treasure

Stunning Turquoise from Tibet and hand cut in London, the bombé cabochon shows all that is great about this ancient gem

Tibetan Turquoise, mined in the Himalayas, is a lovely blue green colour and is prised for its spiritual powers

Turquoise was first discovered over 7,500 years ago in the Sinai Peninsula of Egypt. The earliest evidence of turquoise mining in Egypt comes from fragments of turquoise found in tombs in the el-Qaa region that date back to around 5000 B.C

Turquoise occurs in spots where acidic water comes into contact with copper, forming veins or nuggets of stone

The earliest evidence of turquoise gemstones comes from ancient Egyptian tombs, which contain elaborate turquoise jewelry dating back to 3000 BCE

This truly unique ring is a size N - N1/2, and has been softly hand textured, with a polished rim

Turquoise gem measures 20 x 17 x 8mm 

A simple setting and surrounding flange really shows this Turquoise treasure off to it's best!
