Properties of turquoise

Turquoise offers a variety of colors ranging from light blue to dark blue, veined with black. Turquoise deposits are found in many countries: Tibet, China, Iran, Afghanistan, Mexico, United States (Arizona), Chile, Australia, Israel, Tanzania.

Turquoise blue in Buddhism represents the life of humans in their life / death duality and earth / sky wisdom.

The etymology of the name "turquoise" comes from Turkish stone, because it is in Turkey that the Europeans found it (and that although the mineral was imported from Iran). She gave her name to the turquoise color.

In lithotherapy, turquoise is an emblem of courage. This semi-precious stone is also considered to be a source of well-being. It is also a symbol of wisdom. It arouses the nobility of feelings, indulgence and generosity.

The material of your ring

The silver used to make the jewelry can not be pure 100%, because it would be too soft. In order to work it is added one or more alloy metals, most of the time copper.

Silver jewelry, in Europe and in most countries of the world, is 925 silver. It is 1st grade silver, it has a minimum content of 92,5%. This is also called sterling silver, from the English Sterling Silver 925. Sterling silver, for example, is made up of 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper. Sterling silver has been a category of silver for jewelry in many countries since the 14th century.
