Like the stunning celestial masterpiece that is the Grand Central Terminal ceiling, the particular blue of the stone in this setting against the warmth of the gold is something truly arresting. Turquoise supposedly bridges the gap between the physical and spiritual realms. This sweet egg of a beauty is set high in her thick bezel with two signature rivets, resting over a weighty, hand-carved band. Oh, something also cool about turquoise? It can predict danger and protect you from falls.
No seriously. Ask an Aztec.
