Vintage LJY Petit Point Turquoise Snake Eye Row Ring Band Sterling Silver Size 6

Description: About Snake Eyes The petit point "snake eyes" technique requires finely honed stonework skills. The turquoise pieces are very small and can easily fracture during the honing and polishing process. Each jewelry artist has created their own method of forging these small pieces and once mastered, will typically sit and create hundreds of the polished stones all at once in preparation for creating a finished piece. Snake eyes requires thinly sliced cabochons which are very round. The very nature of the shape, as well as the number of cuts necessary to achieve the correct shape, requires a great amount of patience and skill. Because of the difficulty in crafting petit point cabochons, certain mines of turquoise are more popular to be used. These include sleeping beauty, lone mountain and spider web. Beautifully crafted turquoise ring hallmarked "LJY". The turquoise is set on a foundation of heavy sterling silver. I have hand polished this ring with a cloth to a soft shine. That is the beauty of sterling silver, it will become dark and can be polished back to a beautiful shine time after time.
