@Michael-CA I will try to capture the true color and clarity with a different camera tomorrow! Natural light does make a significant difference. My phone just isn’t as high grade as the ring .
I took your picture into photoshop and did a simple 1 click auto-color correction based on skin tone.
Below is the result based solely on the program and a single sample point from your finger.
The area I watch is the top right corner which had a yellow color cast on an area I felt was actually white.
@Steve I love how you are able to get lighting right. Here is one picture under a white light and one photo outside with other pieces for color comparison. I still am not able to capture right with my phone. I’m sorry
That is a beautiful and unique ring! I hope you get the answers you are looking for!
I spoke with John about a year ago. You should read his bio on his site. I have a buckle made by his wife with Blue Winds turquoise. The mine was a few miles northeast of the Lander mine. He has all that turquoise. The main visual difference is Blue Winds matrix is not as deep a black as Lander. And that looks like one of his rings. The BW turquoise was also a hat mine and probably as rare as Lander if not more so. But he also worked with some Lander.
