Turquoise is the traditional birthstone for the month of December and the gem of the 11th anniversary. 

With striking sky blue to blue-green colors, turquoise has been prized by cultures all over the world for over 5,000 years. For centuries Turquoise has been recognized as possessing the power to protect riders from injury due to falls. Turquoise is also reputed to be influenced by the physical condition of the person who wears it. It is thought to grow pale when its owner is sick or sad, lose all color when the person dies, and gradually recover its color when transferred to a new healthy owner, its color deepening each day.

Please be aware that due to differences in monitor settings, color may vary slightly.
