Sleeping Beauty turquoise, named after a mountain range in Arizona shaped like a sleeping woman, is prized for its pure sky-blue color with minimal matrix. The mine closed in 2012, which means what’s left is what’s left. This ring is an eye popper. Turquoise has represented protection, good fortune, and healing across cultures for thousands of years—the Apache believed you could find it at the end of rainbows, and attaching it to weapons improved your aim. Whether or not that tracks for you, wearing something this intense does shift your day. The high-karat gold is heavy, warm, unapologetically RICH. I think of this as a cocktail ring—but for every day—the kind that makes every wave of your hand feel a little more intentional.
