Turquoise .925 Silver Ring Size 7

Among the books, decks, and stones on 14th Street is this ring: Turquoise .925 Silver Ring Size 7 (shop SKU IGTURQR79).

Turquoise is a blue-green copper aluminum phosphate, long prized in jewelry traditions around the world. In crystal traditions, it is associated with protection and communication. Those ideas belong to folklore and personal practice, not to any medical claim.

Sterling silver is 92.5% silver, often stamped .925; like all silver, it can tarnish over time and can be brightened with a soft polishing cloth. The ring size is 7, as stated in the title. Store jewelry dry and away from lotions, perfume, and harsh cleaners to keep it looking its best.
