Necklace with semi-precious stones - Turquoise

This exclusive piece of jewelry is a design collaboration with Marianne Jemtegård and the bracelet is made by women in Senegal. When you wear this beautiful piece of jewelry, you can feel that you have contributed directly to the income of the women who work with Savannen and we hope you wear the piece of jewelry with the same pride as we do.

The name turquoise is taken from the Turkish language and the reason why turquoise got its name from there is because Turkey was the country that brought the mineral to Europe from Iran. We know turquoise from jewelry that the Indians made and still make. Turquoise was produced as amulets, which due to the stone's protective properties against damage and negative energy were worn by hunters and warriors. Turquoise is also a symbol of friendship and great wealth was shown if you wore an amulet with a turquoise stone in it.

This is a very small production so you are unlikely to find someone who has one. If you state the measurement around your wrist in the comments field you will get one that fits. Put the bracelet together with a simpler one in the same colors and you have a great combination. The jewelry comes with an elastic band that makes it easy to take on and off, and with a small canvas bag with logo.

Savannen operates fair trade and imports from 10 different African countries where the products are mainly made by women.
