Turquoise jewelry

Turquoise is a bright blue to greenish gemstone that plays a central role in Tibetan jewellery. Traditionally it is often combined with amber, coral and silver. In Tibetan culture turquoise stands for protection, prosperity and spiritual strength, and is regarded as a symbol of the connection between heaven and earth. It is often worn as an amulet or in prayer beads and is considered a lucky charm. The pieces are usually elaborately handcrafted, which gives each one an individual character deeply rooted in Tibetan tradition.
