Persian Turquoise · Hand-Forged Sterling · One of One

Some stones carry history before they ever meet silver. This one is believed to originate from the Kerman mine region of Iran — one of the oldest and most revered turquoise sources in the world. Known locally as Feroza, Persian turquoise from this region is prized for its vivid blue-teal color and the distinctive pyrite-laced host rock that gives each stone its own unrepeatable character. This one is no exception.

The Appalachian Prince is a wide-band statement ring built entirely from raw sterling ingot — hand-forged, hand-stamped, and finished by one set of hands in Bald Creek, North Carolina. The band carries a full Southwestern-style stamp pattern across its face, worked with a combination of traditional and handmade stamps. A rope twist frame surrounds a sawtooth bezel, setting the stone without a single cast component in sight.
