Ring, Turquoise, Single Stone, Lizard Overlay, Provenance, Hallmark, Vintage, Estate, 979

JAW-DROPPING AND GIGANTIC!

This intricate and ornate statement ring is a remarkable vintage piece by renowned jewelry artisan Jacob Troncosa. The centerpiece is a specimen stone of turquoise with rich caramel matrix set in a tiny serrated bezel and framed with detailed and dimensional leaf applique and sterling silver drops. But the real eye-catching element is the pair of sterling silver lizards making their way toward each other across the turquoise stone. Not only does this collector’s piece have impossible-to-ignore Southwestern style, it also has a remarkable provenance, acquired from the estate of Texas legend Kevin Williamson, the founder of Austin’s iconic Ranch 616 and creator of the now-popular Ranch Water cocktail. This is a once in a lifetime find.

Provenance: The estate of a true Texas ambassador, Kevin Williamson (Austin, TX, 1962-2021) was a charismatic chef and founder of Austin's iconic restaurant Ranch 616 and the creator of the modern cocktail Ranch Water. Renowned for his eclectic, visionary nature towards art, furniture, and jewelry
