Turquoise bead bracelet with turtle

Symbology

Turquoise is one of the oldest and most valued stones, worn as jewelry and talisman for thousands of years, its blue green colour joining sky and earth and balancing body and spirit. It is known for calm and protection, easing stress and keeping away negative influences, and it is said to strengthen communication and bonds between people and to widen intuition and creativity. The turtle adds depth and spirituality, honoured across many cultures for wisdom, endurance and persistence, a symbol of patience and a mindful pace of life, of protection and longevity, and of a strong tie to the earth and the balance of natural forces.
