Lovely bright turquoise set in masterfully detailed sterling silver. Admired since ancient times for its striking color, turquoise is a stunning adornment that’s increasing in rarity. This vintage pendant makes a wonderful statement piece to further elevate your style, or gift as a precious display of appreciation and timeless beauty.
The value of turquoise is appreciating as historic turquoise deposits have been depleting. Turquoise is believed to be one of the gemstones from the Priestly Breastplate of Aaron in the Bible. Its vibrant beauty has been expertly crafted as part of ancient Egyptian tombs and decadent jewelry dating back to 3000 BCE, palace domes reflecting the sky of heaven, the Taj Mahal, crowns of Persian kings and queens, Aztec art and the rich Native American jewelry and trade.
Like water in the desert, turquoise is discovered in arid regions where copper has dissolved into the soil through rainwater and formed colorful deposits; with copper enhancing the blues, iron and chrome providing hints of green, and the host rock adding dark areas called matrix.
