Carico Lake Turquoise Ring

This beautiful Carico Lake Turquoise ring captures everything collectors love about this rare and distinctive material. Known for its soft yet vibrant color palette, Carico Lake Turquoise often displays a unique blend of blue and green tones, and this piece brings those hues to life with exceptional character.

The stone features a rich blue-green base, accented by warm rust-brown matrix that adds depth and contrast, making the colors appear even more vivid. Flowing throughout are delicate, silvery-black veins that create a soft, almost ethereal pattern across the surface. The combination of color and matrix gives the stone a natural elegance that feels both earthy and refined.

George cut this piece into an abstract oval shape, a thoughtful choice that captures the full range of detail within the stone while adding a subtle artistic edge. The organic shape enhances the movement of the patterns, making the ring feel dynamic from every angle.

Set in a simple sterling silver bezel, the design allows the turquoise to remain the focal point. A thick, comfortable band provides durability and ease of wear, making it as practical as it is beautiful.

This piece also carries a deeper story. In the 1970s, George’s family owned the Carico Lake Turquoise mine in Nevada, where he spent summers mining turquoise by hand. That early experience sparked his lifelong passion for gemstones and lapidary work making each Carico Lake piece he creates today especially meaningful. This ring is currently a size 6, but George offers free sizing (within reason as to not compromise the structure of the ring).
