~ turquoise has been  worn for centuries because of it's beauty, but they also believed it had protective qualities...warrior shields, armor & the tack for their mighty steeds were embellished with turquoise....hence the name of this gorgeous piece!  i freely admit i'm a turquoise addict and i never seem to tire of it...maybe it is also highly addictive too!  *wink*
