Stone Story
Egyptian Turquoise is among the oldest gemstones in recorded human history. The mines of the Sinai Peninsula were worked by ancient Egyptians thousands of years ago — the stone found its way into royal jewelry, sacred amulets, and the burial chambers of pharaohs. To the ancient Egyptians, turquoise carried deep symbolic weight — a mark of power, protection, and status. The Sinai mines are largely exhausted today. What reaches the market is rare — a sky blue stone with a deep chocolate brown matrix, sourced from one of the oldest and most storied deposits on earth.
