Drew M. Rusz Sterling Turquoise Ring — Pale Sky Stone, Handcrafted, Size 7.5

This handcrafted sterling silver ring by Drew M. Rusz carries a quieter kind of power — less storm, more sky. At its center sits a softly colored turquoise cabochon, pale blue-green with delicate webbing that feels airy, mineral, and natural, like desert light just after dawn.

The turquoise shows characteristics often associated with Southwestern U.S. stones, particularly those sourced from Nevada or Arizona, where lighter, pastel-toned turquoise with subtle matrix was prized for its organic beauty. While the exact mine is unconfirmed, the stone’s color, structure, and natural pattern strongly suggest a genuine, untreated turquoise selected for mood rather than perfection.

The silverwork is unmistakably Rusz — a wide, solid shank pierced with bold geometric cutouts that allow light and shadow to move through the ring as it’s worn. The design feels architectural and grounded, balancing the softness of the stone with confident, sculptural silver. At approximately 0.5 ounces of sterling, this ring has real presence despite its elegant proportions.

Signed studio pieces like this reflect a time when silversmiths worked deliberately, shaping silver and stone by hand rather than chasing uniformity. No two are ever quite the same, and that individuality is exactly the point.

Not every story has to shout. Some pieces speak softly — and still stay with you longer than anything else.
