Description from the seller
No reserve price
Magnificent bracelet of Peruvian turquoise pearls combined with small spheres of 18-carat yellow gold (same material as its clasp, in the shape of an olive).
Peruvian turquoise is a rare form of the precious stone turquoise. It presents a greener tone and veining than common turquoise. It has been for centuries the sacred stone of the South American Incas. It has traditionally been used in Peru up to today as an ornamental stone for the production of spiritual amulets.
For almost a thousand years, Native Americans have been extracting turquoise and making their sacred jewelry with it. They believe that their minds connect with the universe when using a turquoise amulet. There is an ancient belief that the turquoise color is affected by the physical and mental condition of the person who uses it. It is said that the color fades when its owner is sick or sad, and that it loses all color when a person dies. Conversely, if the owner is happy and healthy, the turquoise color is more saturated.
Currently, due to its particular beauty, its use is widespread in both jewelry and goldsmithing and costume jewelry.
This bracelet is a new piece of jewelry (however, to assess its condition yourself please look carefully at the photographs, they are part of the description).
Circumference: 19.4 cm
Peruvian turquoise beads: approximately 8 mm in diameter, with slight variations depending on the unit.
Number of beads: 20
Color: Natural, untreated
Number of gold spheres: 9
Total weight: 12.70 g
Stamp in the clasp: Yes
Shipped in a luxury jewelry box. It will be carefully packaged.
Measurements are manual, so allow a minimal but possible margin of error. There may be slight color variations you perceive due to your monitor’s settings, as well as some natural-origin imperfections.
Insured shipping. Possible customs duties or other additional charges imposed by their respective countries will be borne by the buyer.
