The turquoise is exceptional, a clean uniform robin's egg blue with no visible matrix, exactly the quality the famed Sleeping Beauty Mine became known for before it closed. The smooth domed stones are held high in delicate hand-formed claw prongs, and the shoulders are worked with embossed leaf and foliate detailing that flows into the band like curling vines, the kind of intricate handwork that defines genuine Victorian goldsmithing and is almost impossible to find in modern production. Every element speaks to its age and craftsmanship, from the pierced organic gallery to the warm patina settled into the recesses. Paired stones like these have long symbolized union and sentiment in antique jewelry, adding a romantic layer to an already special piece. Add to that a rare petite size 2, and this becomes a true collector's find, an authentic piece of Victorian history that simply does not turn up often. A wonderful heirloom-quality ring to treasure or gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVerifications:\u003cbr\u003eSolid 10K gold has been verified using an Auracle Gold Analyzer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDetails:\u003cbr\u003eMetal: Solid 10K Yellow Gold\u003cbr\u003eHallmark: Unmarked, tested 10K\u003cbr\u003eEra: Victorian\u003cbr\u003ePrimary Stones: Two oval Sleeping Beauty turquoise cabochons\u003cbr\u003eAccent Stones: Two natural seed pearls\u003cbr\u003eSetting: Hand-formed claw prongs with pierced foliate openwork shoulders\u003cbr\u003eRing Size: 2\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Excellent estate condition\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFun Facts:\u003cbr\u003eSleeping Beauty turquoise comes from the now-closed Sleeping Beauty Mine in Globe, Arizona, prized for its clean sky-blue color with little to no matrix; since the mine stopped producing turquoise, matrix-free stones like these have become genuinely scarce and increasingly collectible.\u003cbr\u003eDuring the Victorian era turquoise was one of the most beloved gemstones of all, famously favored by Queen Victoria herself, and paired stones were exchanged as tokens of love and lasting devotion.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Updated March 2026","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52908955795821,"sku":"ET-4416709106","price":345.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/8272\/0109\/files\/Antique_Victorian_solid_10K_gold_Sleeping_Beauty_turquoise_cabochon_ring_with_seed_pearls_size_2.jpg?v=1785088023","url":"https:\/\/silverqueenstudio.com\/products\/sleeping-beauty-turquoise-ring-10k-gold-pearl-accent-vintage-style-size-2","provider":"Silver Queen Studio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
