I love the design of this turquoise ring, but I have absolutely no idea of the quality of the stone.. What kind of things should you be wary of when purchasing turquoise (apart from the fact that it is a soft stone)?
FYI, the vendor''s description of the ring is as follows:
"...Surrounded by pretty white diamonds, this smooth turquoise cabochon measures 18mm by 14mm and is set in 18ct white gold. This unique ring has been beautifully finished, including the row of white diamonds along the shoulder of the band and the floral design cut out detail on the back of the piece..."
I know one should always ask the vendor re quality of the gemstones etc., but I just wanted to know what everyone thought of it at first glance; general advice on purchasing turquoise would be great too!
Thanks in advance.
