Turquoise Inlay

Overview & Description

Turquoise inlay (firuzeh-kubi) is a decorative metalwork technique in which fragments of turquoise are set into copper or other metals, then polished to a brilliant surface. Isfahan workshops are renowned for jewellery, bowls and ornamental pieces in this style.

The luminous blue stone against warm metal is closely identified with Iranian craft luxury.
