About the Nicky Butler Raj
Bring the lush colors and
intricate artistry of India's dynasties to your jewelry
collection with these breathtaking pieces from Nicky
Butler. Nicky combined the influences of his faith and
his British sensibility with his extensive work in India
to create this fabulous collection for today's woman.
Patterned after the jewels of the Mughal Empire, India's
most opulent dynasty, each piece is handcrafted and
available only in limited numbers.
Moisture, skin oils and
environmental factors can change the color of turquoise
jewelry if left untreated. But stabilizing turquoise
helps preserve the stone's normal color. Natural, mined
turquoise nuggets are heated at a very low temperature
for about a week, slowly drawing out moisture without
damaging the texture. The stones are then placed into
acrylic or polymer chemicals to replace water molecules.
This stabilizes the stone and keeps its beauty and value
