37.89 Ct. Cabochon Turquoise from Persia(Iran)

Long before skilled hands shaped it into the luminous cabochon you see today, this turquoise began its life in the ancient, mineral rich landscapes of Persia, Iran. In weathered hills where copper veins mingle with the desert earth, turquoise forms slowly as mineral rich waters seep through fractures and replace host rock with layers of blue and green. For millennia Persian turquoise has been treasured for its pure sky like blues and for the deep cultural associations it carries. Empires and artisans prized this stone as a protection talisman and as a marker of status, and generations of miners and cutters learned to read the subtle signs in rough nodules that revealed beauty within. This particular piece carries the quiet imprint of that long history, a gem that has been born of earth and time, touched by the same elements that tinted centuries of Persian mosaics and domes.

From the mine to my hands the journey of this gem was guided at every step by careful selection and patient craftsmanship. The rough was chosen for its clean, medium intense blue hue and inherently opaque character, traits that made it an ideal candidate for a classic cabochon cut. The stone was shaped into an elegant oval that retains 37.89 carats of natural weight, measuring 19.95 by 13.68 by 8.78 millimeters, dimensions that translate to a commanding presence in any setting. There has been no enhancement to alter its color or stability, so what you see is an honest and natural expression of Persian turquoise, finished to an excellent polish that highlights its smooth surface and subtle internal character. The lapidary work focused on achieving a domed top that allows light to glide across the surface, revealing soft variations in color and tiny mineral inclusions that speak to the gem s authenticity.

As a salesperson who works closely with designers and collectors I imagine this stone set into jewelry that honors its origin and form. Its medium intense blue lends itself beautifully to a warm silver bezel that nods to traditional Persian metalsmithing, or to a refined gold frame that elevates its saturated tone into a modern heirloom. The oval cabochon silhouette makes it versatile for a ring that sits boldly on the hand, a pendant that drifts over clothing and skin, or a brooch that anchors a lapel. The opaque body means the color reads consistently from every angle, offering a reliable palette for complementary jewels and metals. For bespoke commissions it can be the centerpiece of layered compositions, paired with tiny diamonds or soft green stones that echo the copper influenced hues from which turquoise is born.
