The turquoise die

Today I want to tell you where the false belief comes from that turquoise die.

Bulgari

De alguna manera, esta afirmación tiene un fondo de verdad, os lo explico: La turquesa es quizá la piedrareconocidacomo más antigua en su utilización en joyería, desde el Antiguo Egipto, hace más de 7.000 years, the pharaohs used it for ornamentation.Also the Maya, Incas, Aztecs and other cultures carried crowns and pending with turquoise.

Bulgari

Since those times, powers of protection against the forces of evil were attributed. ¿Por qué la consideraban tan milagrosa? Porque es una piedra cuyo color cambia y evoluciona del azul cielo al verde azulado.They believed that this was due to the defense or absorption of these evil powers for which, it ended up "dying" their color.

Tiffany & co.

The reality is that turquoise is very porous and has a composition around 20 percent of water.Exposure to sunlight, heat sources, perspiration, the use of perfumes, etc.., it makes that hydration losing and therefore changing its color.

What few people know is that polishing the upper layer we would get its original color again.This work is done by a lapidary.

Currently, to protect that dehydration, turquoise are covered with natural resins that give it a shining brightness and also protects them from external agents that can harm them.

Pomellate

It really is a very special rock.It is not surprising that its color and beauty, together with this special quality of evolving, has endowed it with this good reputation that deserves so much.Its color is so beautiful that it represents a "color" in our chromatic spectrum.

Today, powers continue to provide good fortune and long life.So you know, taking advantage of the fact that it is summer and its blue color is as intense and bright as the sea, we must put at least some turquoise in our jeweler's bottom !!What do you think?

    Thanks Elena!It is enriching to learn about myths and stories of some precious stones.It makes us think of the centuries that man has tried to give explanation to the fascination we have for jewels, that is, the work of the goldsmiths that unite precious metals and gems.We are reading !!
