Bright blues Birdseye Kingman gleams from the center of this beautiful ring by artisan Marian Nez. A result of masterful artistic vision, shapes and slants guide eyes along this ring's brilliant construction. A true piece of art, this small ring makes a loud statement.
Birdseye refers to a type of turquoise akin to Spiderweb turquoise, but distinct in that it features a light blue base with a complementary blue matrix rather than dark patterns. This configuration yields a unique visual effect where cross-cut stones reveal numerous pockets of lighter blue stone enveloped by darker blue matrix, resembling a bird's eye. Birdseye turquoise, a rarity, can only be found in a few mines, including the Kingman Turquoise Mine located in Arizona.
