My first turquoise

[RRfromR]

@stracci2000 told me a Capricorn with a December birthday must own turquoise, so this is my first attempt I had no idea how to select a quality one, so I just looked at Lang's and tried to replicate it at 1/1000 of that so this is it - victorian brooch with a little old cut. The head is 18k, the rest 9k.

Pretty! Is it a bar pin?

@stracci2000 yep, from the 1880s. I need a pendant now, because I read that it brings good fortune, calm, and protection. I need lots of these
