The earth was born out of the center, opening like a flower meeting the sun, arising onto the shell of Grandmother Turtle to form Turtle Island. Earth’s emergence into being finds expression in this ring, reenacting its birth in a size and shape and form small enough to hold in your hand — and to wear upon it. A large, bold Skystone cabochon from Turquoise Mountain, just slightly off round, emerges from a scalloped sterling silver bezel in a subtle blossom setting, new petals extending just beyond the cradle of the cabochon itself. The stone ebbs and flows in brilliant greens, seafoam, jade, and emerald, touched with the faintest hint of the sky’s reflected blue; earthy brown blocks of matrix arise out of its surface, creating a topography of the earth in miniature. The setting sits atop a band of heavy dual half-round wire, 1/4″ wide; the setting is one inch long by 3/4″ wide (dimensions approximate). Sizeable. Other views shown below.
