Turquoise Claw Necklace

Turquoise is a rare stone that occurs when coppery water reacts with minerals beneath the earth, creating the namesake colored stone.The Ancient Egyptians were among the first to adorn themselves with the brightly colored stone, and buried themselves with turquoise in elaborate tombs to prepare for the afterlife more than 3,000 years ago. Indigenous tribes in the Southwest have long used turquoise in their jewelry and art, a deeply significant symbol for water and the sky.Royal and ethereal, turquoise holds an important place in our collective hearts, adorning us with beauty and meaning.
