Sterling Silver Sky Blue Topaz Handmade Ring

Sterling Silver Sky Blue Topaz Handmade Ring

Sterling Silver Sky Blue Topaz Handmade Ring is an intricate, ornate, artisan crafted sterling silver ring that our designers had created in Ankara more than 10 years ago. Designers are influenced from nature and the history of this particular craft. Their workshop sits in the middle of farmland in a remote small town near Ankara, the capital city of Turkey. This workshop has been making filigree jewelry for over 20 years.

The large 12 mm sky blue topaz stone is genuine and it makes the creation elegant and unique.  The first sample takes about half a day for an artist with 10 years experience to finish. The sides and top of this ring shows how the artist have embroidered to create the floral designs that constitute the band. Like most filigree that we make this too is lightly polished and oxidized to bring out the luster of the silver and give it an antique look. The stone is mined in Brazil, and cut in India. It weighs 7 Carat.

Filigree is the art of embroidery with metal thread. It is similar to embroidering lace except with metal thread. It is an art that has been developed and excelled in Southeastern Turkey in the last two millennia by Assyrian Christians.

Story and the Properties of Blue Topaz Stone

Ancient cultures believed in the cooling powers of blue topaz. It was used to calm the nerves and also for relaxation. It’s also believed to stimulate creativity, communication and inspiration. That’s why some name it ‘the writer’s stone’. Blue Topaz is also the birthstone of December and it’s associated with love and loyalty as well. It’s an elegant way to express commitment in a romantic relationship, hence it’s traditionally given on the 4th and 19th year of marriage anniversaries.
