Special powers have been attributed to turquoise since time immemorial. The ancient Egyptians, for example, carved small animal figures from the sky-blue stone, which were worn as lucky talismans. In the Middle Ages, it was believed that turquoise could prevent falls from horses and protect the wearer from poisons of all kinds. In the Baroque era, the gemstone was worn almost exclusively by men and a high-quality turquoise was a natural part of a gentleman's wardrobe. Above all, however, the turquoise's unmistakable color, which the stone in the center of this exquisite vintage ring also displays, is a delight. The gemstone shines sky blue and is wonderfully homogeneous. It is cut into an oval cabochon, which accentuates the color wonderfully. The ring sets the turquoise in a sculptural setting of white gold and diamonds. Twelve brilliant-cut diamonds frame the center stone and ten baguette-cut diamonds are staggered along the four axes of the design like rays of a sparkling star. The design is typical of the years around 1970 and is close to the so-called "ballerina ring". An independent expert opinion has confirmed the quality of the materials. We discovered the ring at Lake Constance and were immediately impressed by its summery colors. And who knows? Maybe there is something to the old stories about turquoise after all!
