Special powers have been attributed to turquoise since time immemorial. The ancient Egyptians, for example, carved small animal figures from the stone, which were worn as lucky talismans. In the Middle Ages, it was believed that turquoise could prevent falls from horses and protect the wearer from poisons of all kinds. In the Baroque era, the gemstone was worn almost exclusively by men, and a high-quality turquoise was naturally part of a gentleman's wardrobe. What all eras have in common, however - and this is still true today - is that it is above all the special color of this mineral that makes it so attractive. When most people think of turquoise, they probably think of the light blue color that was named after the gemstone. However, turquoise comes in different colors - including green. This is also the case with the turquoise in this necklace, which is closer to the neck: the stones come in wonderful greenish-blue shades with black veins. They are cut into round discs and individually knotted. A practical clasp made from matt-finished sterling silver with a built-in magnet holds the chain securely in place. And who knows? Maybe there is something to the old stories after all!
