Turquoise has been beloved all over the world since ancient times. The Egyptian word for turquoise was the same as the word for delight. In Persia, turquoise was considered the color of heaven and used extensively to decorate palaces and religious buildings. Much of the turquoise that came to Europe was mined in Turkey and the French name turquois means Turkish. The brightly color blue turquoise with little or no matrices is typical of the turquoise that came from trading along the European trade routes.
During the Victorian Era, Queen Victoria frequently wore and gifted it, prompting the public to emulate her. Symbolic of protection, faithfulness, and good fortune, it was widely used in all types of jewelry.
Measurements: The ring size is 7.75. The front of the ring is just under 3/4" and tapers to 1/8" at the back.
Origin: American, c. 1870's.
Notes: This ring can be sized a small amount up or down. If you'd like to have this ring sized, please indicate the size in the "Special Instructions" box at checkout and allow minimum 3 weeks for sizing and delivery. Depending on the work, extra timing or fees may be assessed and we will contact you. Once sized the ring is a final sale but repairs or adjustments can be made.
