Antique 10K Turquoise & Seed Pearl Navette Ring

 Persian turquoise was very popular among Victorians. It was brought to Europe via Turkey, and called “Pierre Turquoise” (Turkish Stone) by the French. It is harder than American turquoise, and  has a pure blue color with no matrix, which was desirable in the Victorian Era. Queen Victoria was said to be very fond of the stone, which added to its popularity. In many cultures, it is said to bring protection, health, prosperity and love. Some wear it to ward off the Evil Eye.

Set in gorgeous 10 karat rose gold, this Victorian ring has a beautifully embellished shank with leafy motifs. The shape is a 'navette', which means 'little ship' in French. Set with faceted Persian turquoise and seed pearls, it makes a visually arresting statement. A sweet and traditional token from a beloved era, she is sure to become a favorite in your collection!
