Hand Forged in Bald Creek, North Carolina.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis ring was built from the ground up — no casting, no shortcuts. Starting from raw ingot silver, every element was hand forged, fabricated, and stamped by R. Wilson in the Mountains of Western North Carolina. What you're holding is 26.20 grams of solid sterling silver and one irreplaceable stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Stone\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGolden Hills Turquoise — sold to me as natural, untreated stone. The matrix runs deep copper and brown through an electric sky-blue field. No two stones from this mine are alike, and this one is exceptional: bold color, strong matrix, and a domed profile that commands attention on the hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Construction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bezel is fabricated by hand, edge stamping, claw prongs, open back, set directly against the stone with no filler. The shank is adorned with fan and shell motifs on both sides. A thunderbird stamp marks the interior of the band. The hallmark R STERLING W is stamped on the shank end. This is not a production piece. It is a document of craft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 10.75\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 26.20 grams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Ingot sterling silver (.925)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStone: Golden Hills Turquoise — natural\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSetting: Hand-fabricated open-back bezel with claw prongs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStamps: Fan, shell, thunderbird\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHallmark: R STERLING W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstruction: Hand forged — no casting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePackaging\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShips in a black gift box with kraft fill and an Appalachian Smith provenance card.
