What are the customs of turquoise?

<

Turquoise is often used as a bead. Dimensions range from 8 to 60 mm, either polished or honed. Turquoise can be a primary bead or washer on the rosary with the Buddha's sacred 108 beads.

Many Tibetan societies use turquoise for everyday hair accessories. Nomadic women combed their hair into 108 petals, which were decorated with turquoise and coral. For married women in southern Tibet, the turquoise beads on the hair are essential, and it expresses the wish for the husband's longevity. Not wearing any turquoise on the hair is considered disrespectful to the husband.

In the western Himalayas, turquoise and other valuable items are sewn directly on women's dresses or children's hats.

Sometimes the front placket of the entire outer garment is decorated with metal sheets, shells, beads of various materials, buttons and turquoise. The ornaments on the child's hat also have a protective effect.

Most Tibetan women also wear necklaces of turquoise beading with other valuables such as coral, amber, pearl and jadeite. Men's accessories are more simplified. Usually, a few turquoise beads are used to string the coral around the neck, or a turquoise bead is attached to the earlobe. Women in Manang, northwestern Nepal, are proud to wear a 70mm long turquoise block with two coral beads on the side. Putting on this piece of jewelry, for the husband who goes out to do business, means being safe.

Amulet containers are an important jewel in Asia. Every Tibetan has one or several such containers to hold a written deed of religion. Protective objects such as cloth pieces or pocket religious figures cut from high-level lama clothes. The container can be a plain bag, but more of it is a carved gold and silver box with few turquoise decorations. Sometimes a moderately sized turquoise is placed in the middle, sometimes with many flawless turquoise and diamonds, rutile and emeralds uniquely placed on 24K gold ancestral objects. It is particularly worth mentioning that in Lhasa and central Tibet, a special type of body protector is popular: in the box of the Mandala Bodhisattva and the place where the image is presented, there are two intersecting squares of gold and silver. Turquoise is usually inlaid on the entire box.
