Genuine Turquoise Coral Sterling Silver Bracelet by Lucky.

This is a magnificent creation of heavy-gauge Sterling Silver with genuine Turquoise nuggets and red Coral. A classic traditional combination of the Southwest. The Coral is set as the centers of Sterling Silver flowers. Hand-cut Sterling Silver leaves and coils artfully decorate this wearable art. The coral-centered flowers frame a large oval cabochon of genuine sky blue Turquoise. The matrix within this unique Turquoise cab resembles a lizard or gecko with a little imagination. Turquoise like this is like staring at a partly cloudy sky. The bracelet is 1-1/2" wide and will fit a 5-1/2" to 6-1/2" wrist.

Turquoise is a highly sought-after mineral and is possibly the most valuable, non-transparent mineral in the jewelry trade. It has been mined for eons since at least 6000 BC by early Egyptians. Aztecs reserved turquoise for the gods and it was not to be worn by mere mortals. Its history also includes beautiful ornamental creations by Native Americans and Persians. Today, it is more popular than ever and its use around the world is prolific. The finest turquoise comes from Iran but is challenged by some southwestern United States specimens. The name comes from a French word, which means stone of Turkey, from where Persian material passed on its way to Europe.
