This listing is for a custom Kingman Turquoise ring, crafted by hand especially for you. To place an order, simply select your favourite piece of Kingman Turquoise and your ring size from the drop-down menus. I will then use the specifications from your purchase to create your very own custom ring. Like all my work, each ring is individually handcrafted, using recycled silver, cruelty-free materials, ethically sourced gemstones and environmentally friendly methods.

⦁ The completed rings in the listing photos are a guide as to how each piece will look. As every gemstone differs slightly in shape and size, your finished ring will be a complete one of a kind.
⦁ Stones will be set in the same way that they are laid out on my fingers in the photos. If you'd like me to set them horizontally, just add a note in the message box at checkout to let me know.
⦁ If you'd like to see an example of the rings I make to order each day, you can tune into my Instagram stories at www.Instagram.com/GemAndTonik. There I share videos of every piece I create before I ship it out to its forever home. :)

💎 KINGMAN TURQUOISE LORE:
Turquoise is perhaps the oldest stone in man's history, the talisman of kings, shamans, and warriors. Among the Ancient Egyptians, Persians and Chinese, Aztecs and Incas of South America, and Native North Americans, Turquoise was sacred in its adornment and for power, luck, and protection.
Wearing Turquoise is said to bring strength, protection from harm, psychic sensitivity and good fortune. It is a symbol of friendship, aids wearers while traveling and brings peace to the home.
The Kingman Turquoise Mine is one of the oldest and highest producing Turquoise Mines in America. It is located in the Acerbate Mountains 14 miles northwest of Kingman, Arizona in the United States. It was originally discovered well over 1000 years ago and was actually part of a Turquoise boom around 1000 AD when the Mayan culture was using a lot of Turquoise for self adornments and ceremonial items.

❤ COMBINED SHIPPING:
I offer combined shipping on all my items, so you can purchase as many of my creations that you like, and not pay any extra!
❤ PRODUCT PHOTOS:
All photos are taken outside in natural sunlight in my garden. Please allow for slight variations in colour, as some monitors, browsers and phone screens display colour differently.
❤ MADE BY HAND:
My items are made entirely by my hands, and not from moulds, casts or machinery. Each piece takes a great deal of time to make, and I put a little bit of my heart into everything I create. This means that my work may not always look like pieces that are mass produced. To show this, I try to take clear photos outside in natural light, and from different angles so you can see each piece in its entirety.
If you are looking for something that looks like it came from a catalogue or big box retail store, then I would recommend purchasing from a company that uses pre-fabs or machine-made pieces. However, if you would like something that has been made from the heart, with care, traditional techniques, and with a love for the Earth in mind, then I'd love for you to purchase from me!
