What to look for in a high-quality Turk's head ring
Hand-woven craftsmanship: The best rings are not cast but carefully hand-woven from a single wire. This process requires great skill and time, resulting in a unique, high-quality piece. Quality materials:
The durability and look of the ring depend on the quality of the precious metal used. Choose rings made from solid 14k or 18k gold, platinum, or high-grade sterling silver. Comfort fit: Rings with a solid sleeve underneath the braid are often called "comfort fit". This design prevents the wire from catching on clothing and makes the ring more comfortable for everyday wear.
Origin and reputation: Many of the most respected nautical jewelers, like Aumaris, have a long history of crafting rings and are transparent about their materials and process.
