Turquoise and Coral Gemstone Adjustable Sterling Silver Ring

There is something deeply unhurried about the way turquoise and coral have always found each other in silver. This adjustable ring from Exotic India brings together two of the subcontinent's most beloved gemstones in a setting that reads as both tribal and refined. The tradition it draws from is broad and ancient: from the silver ateliers of Rajasthan, where turquoise has been set into sterling since the time of the Mughals, to the folk jewellery of Gujarat and Himachal, where coral and turquoise appear together as symbols of protection and vitality. The ring is worked in sterling silver, its surface carrying the weight and substance that only a solid 12-gram piece can offer. At 0.75 inches (approximately 1.9 cm) in height, the profile is bold without being unwieldy, the stones set proud against the silver so their colours, an oceanic blue-green and a warm terracotta red, hold their own against the metal's cool brightness. For day, it sits easily against a handwoven cotton kurta in ivory or indigo, where the colours in the stone pick up the earthen undertones of natural cloth. For evening, it is exactly the kind of piece that steadies a silk saree hand or a draped georgette sleeve without competing with anything else. The ring is free size, meaning the shank is adjustable to fit most fingers comfortably. Sterling silver of this gauge wears well with daily use and requires only an occasional gentle polish to maintain its warm lustre.
