Turquoise is a semi-precious opaque gemstone that has been
sought after in many of the world’s historic civilisations. The
stone’s unique colour has a distinctly blue hue to it with hints of
green in some cuts. In fact, the colour is so unique that Turquoise
is the only gemstone to have had a distinctive colour named after
it. The individuality of Turquoise shines through in the creamy
brown-coloured veins that are often visible in the natural,
hand-cut stones, so every piece has its own discernible character.
It has a waxy lustre that makes it as pleasing to the touch as it
is on the eye, so it’s no wonder that it’s been obsessed over for
thousands of years.
