HISTORY




.



Turquoise is most famous, perhaps, as one of the gems most treasured by the Ancient Egyptians.
The Ancient Egyptian Goddess Hathor was heralded as the goddess of the turquoise sky, beauty, joy, motherhood and fertility. Turquoise was said to be a holy stone that would bring good luck to those who wore it.

The trio of carnelian, lapis, and turquoise likely had special significance. Starting in the 4th Dynasty, during the reign of Khufu and continuing for the next two millennia, the trio was often found together in ancient Egyptian royal jewelry.

Ancient Egypt, one of the richest and most advanced of the early civilizations, appeared on the stage
of history around 3100 B.C. (Dynasty I). Hieroglyphic scripts and tomb decorations document the
Egyptians' belief in the after-life, their mythology and deities. Jewelry was often worn as protective
talismans. Gold was believed to reflect the life-giving rays of the sun. The color and brilliance of gem
stones traditionally determined their value and religious significance.
