Indian Ring with Square Stone

Laced with black veins, a rounded-square blue gem sits in a double rim.

This turquoise ring with square stone is from India, and is contemporary. A square cut for a polished stone gives a clean, geometric face, and turquoise has been set in rings from Persia to Tibet to the American Southwest. Glossy, domed and square in blue, the gem has dark webbing across the surface. A smooth, stepped white-metal bezel surrounds it, and the band widens as it rises to the setting.

Bold, chunky, and a very good conversation starter.
