The ancient Aztecs believed that turquoise is the petrified tears of the sky goddess, who sought to establish peace and eliminate hostility. In the Middle Ages, it was believed that in order to attract a man, a woman should quietly sew a piece of turquoise into his clothes. Translated from the Persian, “turquoise” (“firuse”) is both a “stone of happiness” and a “triumphant one”. Since ancient times, a ring with turquoise was the most popular jewelry ornament with ornamental stones, as it was associated with wealth and recognition.
Turquoise is a rather rare semiprecious stone, a natural mineral, hydrated aluminum and copper phosphate. It is called ornamental, as it is used as inserts in jewelry. The stone can be large and simply framed by metal, and can be crushed and used as a finishing placer in combination with cubic zirconias.
In the modern world, this stone, of course, is more valued not for its magic, but for its aesthetic properties. The most noble stones are pale blue . A turquoise ring of this shade is considered a symbol of faithful love, strong and sincere feelings. Presented as a gift to the beloved, such a ring without words will express the whole depth of feelings.
In general, the spectrum of shades of these stones is very wide: pale and bright turquoise, with green reflections, leaving in the blue, with blurry black patterns. Therefore, each turquoise ring is a unique piece of jewelry and a real piece of jewelry!
Ring design is not limited to classic solutions. They can be not only round or oval, but also square, in the form of flowers, twigs, abstract lines and patterns. Turquoise is framed in silver, white and red gold. Jewelry with this stone in the summer is especially popular. Probably because it is in the warm time that you want bright colors.
Even now, people believe that the golden ring with turquoise is a symbol of good luck and peace, it helps to end quarrels and enmities between people, helps to pacify evil thoughts and unjustified anger, and, of course, symbolizes unchanging and true love.
If you decide to buy a ring with turquoise, you should know what care will be required. Turquoise does not tolerate contact with harsh chemicals, soap, fat, since the stone is quite soft and sensitive to external influences. Store jewelry with caution. For example, do not keep them together with diamonds that can scratch delicate turquoise. Avoid exposing the stone to perfume vapors and high temperatures. Wash the turquoise in warm water, then wipe it with a soft cloth. The same rules will apply when leaving for other jewelry with this stone, whether it is earrings with turquoise made of silver or other metal.
Astrologically, turquoise corresponds to the sign of Sagittarius and is subordinate to Jupiter. This is a pronounced anti-demonic stone. In the hands of worthy people, he becomes a defender against evil, but if he falls into people with bad thoughts, he quickly loses his magical properties, and even can begin to bring misfortunes.
