One of a kind. Once it's gone, it's gone.

This ring was born from raw silver ingot — hand-forged from scratch using traditional smithing techniques in the Appalachian Mountains of Bald Creek, North Carolina. Every curve, every stamp, every detail was worked by hand. No casting. No shortcuts.

The Stone

The centerpiece is a natural Royston ribbon turquoise cabochon sourced directly from Otteson Turquoise SST — the family mine featured on Turquoise Fever, now streaming on Amazon Prime. This stone is the real deal: 20.65 carats of untreated, backed natural turquoise with the signature green-white-rust ribbon matrix that Royston is known for. Measures 21.1 × 19.7 × 5.2mm and sits in a hand-twisted double rope sterling bezel that frames it perfectly.

The Band

The wide tapered band (19.5mm at the top, 12.2mm at the back) is hand-stamped with traditional Southwestern motifs — Zia sun symbols, solar crosses, and geometric patterns — using handmade stamping tools. The oxidized relief makes every motif pop against the polished silver. Stamped RW and Sterling for authenticity.
