I hesitate to buy vermeil online ~ sometimes it is done beautifully and others reminds me of my Moms Monet from years and years ago.
This ring was a pleasant suprise. I love Tuquoise in all it's forms and shapes from dressy to flip flops and jeans; it is truly Americas gemstone.
I like the basketweave design very much. The CZ stones could be a bit smaller for believability~but then I think in these big statement/cocktail rings that "looking real" isn't all that important anymore???
The turquoise stone is smooth and blemish or matrix free. Very "sleeping beauty" like. I really am enjoying it and it will match with several gold and turquoise necklaces I have made!
