A perhaps strange habit I have is collecting interesting rocks - since childhood actually. I love the look of jewelry when it is raw and imperfect - not so polished (except for pearls of course ;) , it imparts something gloriously archaic and mythological.

The color is so striking - they are very sky blue - and they are light and perfect for the life I now lead. Thank you for the information.

Turquoise is my favourite colour and I especially love it combined with gold tones. The Kothari earings are incredible, so beautiful, you have such an eye. <br /><br />I've been window shopping for some turquoise jewellery and was tempted by the Lena Skadegard bracelet you showed some time ago http://www.twistonline.com/designers-lena-skadegard-bracelets/graduated-turquoise-bracelet. This Anne Sportun piece looks pretty nice to me http://annesportun.com/products/gemstone-wrap-bracelet. I also found the artisanal look of these studs appealing<br />http://boticca.com/toosis/turquoise-stud-earrings/3746/<br /><br />The suggested background info will be a big help in the search.
