Blue Diamond Ring by PLATERO

This Turquoise, BLUE DIAMOND, was wildly received at its discovery in the Seventies. Tabbed as the “next great turquoise,” massive sheets and nuggets were mined. Hundreds of pounds found their way to lapidary shops all across the Southwest. Natural high grade Blue Diamond seemed to be everywhere! Then, as suddenly as it appeared, it DISAPPEARED!

All that has long ago gone through the pipeline. Much that is being hoarded nowadays will never see the light of day because that’s how hoarders work . . . Blue Diamond is, therefore SCARCE.

Blue Diamond turquoise ring.  Size 7 3/4”.  R. Platero is the artist. The Platero family name is, itself, legendary among SW Native jewelers. In fact, the name Platero MEANS silversmith!
