Still Morning - King's Manassa Turquoise Ring
ONE OF ONE • ONLY 1 AVAILABLE
Size 8 1/2 on a 8mm Hammered Band
There is a particular quality of light that belongs only to early morning in the high desert soft, unhurried, the sky not yet decided between green and blue. This stone holds that exact moment. The elongated oval Manassa turquoise cabochon measures 36mm x 21mm, its pale teal ground drifting through soft brown matrix like the first shadows of a quiet day. It does not demand attention. It simply earns it.
Set in oxidized .925 sterling silver with a hand-twisted rope border and delicate wheat leaf accents, the stone is framed with a restraint that honors its gentle character. Below it, a broad 10mm hammered sterling silver band catches light the way still water does in fragments, in motion, never quite the same twice. This is a ring for a woman who knows the difference between loud and beautiful.
Named for the small town of Manassa nearby also the birthplace of heavyweight boxing champion Jack Dempsey the mine sits at elevation in country that feels as old and unhurried as the stone it produces. Natural Manassa turquoise is increasingly rare, its soft, muted palette a welcome contrast to the electric blues of Arizona mines. It is a stone that rewards patience and a quiet eye.
