A stone of hope, Turquoise is only found in dry and barren regions around the world. The earliest evidence of turquoise used as a gemstone comes from ancient Egyptian tombs, which contain elaborate turquoise jewellery dating back to 3000 BCE. Turquoise has been used for centuries as a healing stone, and is thought to bring happiness and confidence. Turquoise is one of December's Birthstones.
My little Rosehips can now be your own tiny talisman, bringing you all of Turquoise's hope and happiness.
Solid 9k recycled studio gold Rosehip caps over round Hubei Turquoise gemstones (4mm). Hanging from gold filled ear hooks. Approximately 2cm in length (handmade, so this measurement will vary slightly).
Please note that my turquoise stones have dark vein inclusions, as they are natural stones.

Please note:
Lilygriffin jewellery is dainty and delicate, so care must be taken when wearing and storing it.
Please do not wear while exercising, swimming, gardening, showering, cleaning or sleeping. Store in a soft protective pouch or box out of direct sunlight and away from moisture, excessive heat or cold. Please do not store in the bathroom. Avoid contact with household chemicals, perfumes, creams, and hairspray/gels.
I would be delighted if you wanted to wear my jewellery everyday, but please be aware that you will be able to enjoy your handpainted pieces longer if they are not worn on a day to day basis.
