Stone appears seated in its bezel in the photographs. VINTAGE STERLING SILVER & TURQUOISE SOUTHWESTERN STATEMENT RING Beautiful vintage handcrafted sterling silver ring featuring a dramatic long natural-form turquoise cabochon with prominent brown matrix, secured in a finely serrated sawtooth bezel.
