Silver vemeil and turquoise
Inspired by the flower motifs found on Afghan embroidery.
Persia has been an important source of turquoise for at least 2,000 years its pure, “robin’s egg blue” colour earned the highest prices on the world market. It was initially named “pirouzeh” (victory) by the Persians and, later, “firouzeh.”. In Iranian architecture, the blue turquoise was used to cover the domes of palaces because its intense blue colour was also a symbol of heaven on earth. The western name for turquoise comes from the country, Turkey, which traded Iranian firouzeh with Europe.
