The origin of the name Turquoise is uncertain, but it seems to derive from the French word 'turc' (Turkish). Turquoise, in fact, arrived in Europe from Persia via Turkey. The main deposits are found in Iran (deposits known since 1200), the United States (Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada), Mexico, South Africa, Russia, Egypt, Israel, Tibet, China. Turquoise, known for thousands of years, is a fascinating and highly sought-after stone: a symbol of celestial divinity and the wonders of the East. The Persians were the first to love its most prized quality, sky blue in color. The splendid blue color, due to copper, has also made Turquoise a sacred stone in Tibet, Ancient Mexico and pre-Columbian Peru. This jewel is a tribute to this wonderful stone. There are no words to describe the setting work present on the entire jewel, which was first forged and hand-worked in 925 silver. Beautiful and UNIQUE.
