Turquoise jewelry has a rich and fascinating history that spans thousands of years. Ancient civilizations, such as the Egyptians and Persians, revered turquoise for its beauty and believed it held protective and healing properties. In Native American culture, turquoise was highly valued and used in intricate jewelry designs, symbolizing wealth, spirituality, and connection to the natural world. Today, turquoise remains a beloved gemstone, cherished for its vibrant blue-green hues and its enduring legacy as a symbol of cultural significance and timeless beauty.
