The word turquoise dates to the 17th century and is derived from the French turquois meaning "Turkish" because the mineral was first brought to Europe through Turkey from mines in the historical Khorasan province of Iran (Persia) and Afghanistan.
But that's enough of a history lesson, look how pretty it is! This cluster necklace & earring set features bright blue synthetic turquoise, all strung from an 18 inch sterling silver chain, with matching 6.5cm silver plated kidney wire earrings.
