Why we love it
The ultimate statement maker and just the best craftmanship on display
Turquoise was exceptionally popular in Victorian jewellery symbolising affection, friendship and protection, popularised by Queen Victoria herself who frequently wore turquoise pieces herself
Much of the turquoise was of Persian origin, as is the case in this necklace which, being so exotic, scored big points on the affluent and erudite scales
