Faceted Turquoise (Firuze) Bracelet (8mm Beads)
Ancient Stone of Protection and Wisdom
This vibrant bracelet is crafted from 8mm faceted Turquoise beads, a stone revered for millennia. Turquoise, or “Firuze” as it is known in Persian, is a hydrated phosphate of copper and aluminum, cherished for its opaque, sky-blue to green-blue hues. The dark, web-like lines (matrix) seen in these beads are remnants of the host rock, giving each piece a unique, earthy character. For thousands of years, civilizations from Ancient Egypt and Persia to the Indigenous tribes of the Americas have valued Turquoise as a sacred stone of power, luck, and protection. This modern, faceted cut enhances the stone’s natural color, allowing it to catch the light beautifully. As one of the world’s oldest gems, it is also a cherished December birthstone.
