[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 3903517, member: 2844"]The turquoise is probably not Tibetan turquoise, which is generally much more green. So it would have been imported, and expensive. Still assuming it is Tibetan, this ring would have been a rural piece, made in a rough, mountainous country where trade goods like replacement stones didn't always reach the rural areas. Jewellery made in Tibetan towns, where imported goods were more readily available, is much more sophisticated.[/QUOTE]
