11th Anniversary Turquoise Gifts

Your 11th anniversary gemstone is Turquoise, a powerful and strong stone that has been used for thousands of years for protection.

It also has strength in romance too with Turquoise promoting romantic love and spontaneity. Romance and spontaneity sound perfect to celebrate 11 years of marriage.

Turquoise first came to Europe from Turkey, which is why it is called turquoise as it comes from an old French word for Turkish.

Given with love Turquoise is also believed to bring good fortune and an old Eastern proverb states;

"A turquoise given by a loving hand carries with it happiness and good fortune." Source: Diamonds, Pearls and Precious Stones by Smith.
