ABOUT LARRY COOLEY TURQUOISE:
The turquoise that this is made with, came from the late "Larry Cooley's" private collection. Mr. Cooley was one of the most reputably known turquoise vendors in the industry, who artists would go to when they wanted the highest quality turquoise for their own designs.. Since he was very knowledgeable, he knew what separated the junk from the premium grades & was committed to offering only the finest that each mine produced. He was one who wouldn't dare offer turquoise to someone, that he himself, wouldn't want.

One would be right to say that, the turquoise he collected & sold, were qualities that only the finest of the finest "Turquoise Connoisseur's" would buy..He had a vast collection of nothing BUT premium turquoise that were all natural,since his rocks were mined long before they started treating turquoise & had the best that each mine produced.

So these cuts are an excellent grade of natural turquoise, which is getting more & more difficult to find anymore, unless you're willing to pay top dollar per carat. That is if you can find any, since much has gone into private collectors hands & has become very valuable... After Larry's passing, everyone wanted dibs on his whole collection, but because of Federico's long time connection with Larry & Larry's family, he was fortunate to purchase this 'once in a lifetime' limited & very pricy collection(This is reflected in price) So once these stones are used up, they're gone!
*****************************
THE RING:
What makes this ring such a eye magnet, is the undeniable killer quality it's made with..

Designed in a halo cluster design, where the incredibly large size center Royston cut has the most gorgeous color sky blue color & which is surrounded by a halo of good size oval cuts. Most of the clusters are close to the same color as the center,with some cuts being toned down a bit because of having darker matrix patterns, thus giving a bit more contrast to the overall look.

The shank is made to be adjustable & is presently set at a size 8.If you need it larger, I can size it up for you,but I want to mention that if you zoom in on the last couple photos, you'll see how the movable part (Not the split part) can only close up to maybe a 1/2 size to 1 size down because of how the shank's made.

**It wasn't till I was listing this,that I realized I never took a photo of this on the finger! So either email me if you need a photo,but I will being doing this as soon as I can!**

A NOTE:
**Anything with Larry's turquoise comes with a higher price tag,due to the quality & rarity*-So with this ring, you are paying for not only the artist, but the turquoise quality, the cost per carat for this quality, how many carats, turquoise availability, sterling cost & artists time ,which are reflected in price****
