Turquoise is an exceptionally rare phosphate mineral, distinguished by its wonderfully opaque blue-green colour.

Turquoise takes its name from the French word "turques", meaning "Turks", as the mineral first reached Europe through Turkey.

Turquoise was one of the first gemstones to be widely mined. Our ancestors were drawn above all to its singular, irreplaceable colour.

Turquoise can frequently be seen adorning the crowns and jewellery of famous rulers. As a decorative mineral it was known as far back as ancient Egypt, among the Aztecs, in Persia, and across other dynasties. One of the more famous uses of Turquoise was in the funeral mask of the pharaoh Tutankhamun.

It was once believed that Turquoise would change colour in accordance with shifts in the health of the person wearing it. It was also believed to protect against the ill intentions of other people or forces.

Something all the civilisations that regularly used Turquoise share is their belief that it brings good fortune. It was a "sacred stone" to every one of them.

Today the market is flooded with Turquoise imitations. Our Turquoise stones are genuine and, apart from being shaped into a specific form, completely natural.
