Ancient and yet always at the height of current fashion: that is Turquoise for you. Its brilliant sky-blue belongs to the all-time favorite trend colors in the world of fashion and jewelry. Turquoises were loved as ornaments decorating turbans, often set in a border of pearls, in order to protect the wearer from the 'evil eye'. They were used as talismans decorating daggers, scimitars or the horses' bridles.
