Blackjack Turquoise Ring | Sterling Silver Handmade Statement Ring (Size 6.5)

✦ Handcrafted sterling silver statement ring featuring genuine Blackjack turquoise, made in my Colorado studio.

This one-of-a-kind ring showcases Blackjack turquoise, a striking Nevada turquoise known for its vibrant blue-green veins running through deep black chert. The natural fractures, golden iron inclusions, and bold contrast make each stone utterly unique — a miniature landscape formed over millions of years.

The stone is set in a double-layered, hand-stamped bezel that adds texture and dimension without overwhelming the turquoise. A wide, intricately patterned floral band balances the boldness of the stone with an old-world elegance, giving the piece a vintage-meets-modern feel.

This ring is sized at US 6.5 and makes a beautiful everyday statement — earthy, expressive, and unmistakably handcrafted.

Handmade with love in Fort Collins, Colorado.

✦ About Blackjack Turquoise

Blackjack turquoise comes from a small Nevada deposit known for its striking contrast and naturally dramatic patterns. This unique turquoise often shows vivid blue-green color framed by deep brown to nearly black matrix — a combination created over millions of years as minerals settled and hardened within the host rock.

Unlike uniform turquoise varieties, Blackjack is celebrated for its bold character: patches of bright color, iron-rich golden tones, and high-contrast sections that make each stone completely one of a kind. No two pieces ever form alike, which is why collectors love this material for statement jewelry.

Much of the modern Blackjack turquoise on the market is mined and cut by members of the Otteson family, who have been working Nevada turquoise claims for generations. Their careful lapidary work preserves the natural texture and beauty of each stone, allowing the unique matrix patterns to shine.

If you’re drawn to turquoise with depth, contrast, and a touch of wild desert energy, Blackjack is a truly special variety to collect.
