Jahan Ara - Turquoise and White Topaz Silver Ring

From the Jahan collection by Orah Jewels and Crafts, Jahan Ara is a silver ring finished with 24k gold plating and set with turquoise and white topaz, named for the regal scale of the Shah Jahan Mosque in Thatta, where Mughal ambition met Sindhi craft.

The turquoise in Jahan Ara is sourced from Iran, from the Neyshabur mines in Khorasan province, its sky blue produced by copper bound into the stone's structure, a source that has supplied the world's most prized turquoise for over two thousand years.

Set beside the turquoise is white topaz from the Skardu Valley in Gilgit Baltistan, an aluminum silicate formed inside granite pegmatites over long, slow cooling periods that allow the crystal to grow clear and well formed, historically used as one of the more convincing substitutes for diamond before modern simulants existed.

At US size 6.25, the gold plating in Jahan Ara sets a warm frame around both stones, the blue of the turquoise and the sparkle of the topaz reading together as a single bright surface. Made in Lahore at the Orah Jewels and Crafts facility. One piece.
