This incredible blue turquoise in the big silver ring is a “Barcelona “ stone…
Once up on a time we visited the beautiful city of Barcelona.
We walked for hours through the city to visit collegue jewelry designers.
We found little shops with wonderful jewelry in places you would not expect them at all. In one of those shops was a man with a big love for stones, precious and non-precious. He had a large cabinet with drawers full of the most amazing gems, all natural colors and with unusual cuts.
We ended up buying a whole bunch and named those stones “Barcelona ”
And yes, before you ask… we also visited some of the great buildings of Gaudi.

I’ve been to Barcelona but it was years ago before I had internet access. How different it would be now to visit these places when you have a passion for jewellery and like your good self seek out these wonderful places. Your ring is amazing.
