Iranians have been quietly mining the world's most beautiful turquoise for centuries. The mines are located in the east of the country, near the border with Afghanistan, where no foreigners are permitted. Near the town of Nishapur, in a desert setting, the world's most beautiful turquoise has been extracted for four centuries. The men of the village of Firuze (turquoise in Persian) have been digging the mountainside from father to son. In endless tunnels, the miners search for the blue veins that run through the dark rock. The oldest sort the stones on the mine floor and then store them in a heavily guarded room awaiting the auction held every month in the mine. Only well-known dealers, and of course, Iranians, are admitted. The turquoise purchased in this way fuels a veritable cottage industry in the holy city of Mashhad. In the bazaars, jewelers manufacture jewelry in large quantities, notably silver rings adorned with turquoise, worn by Muslim men following the advice of the Prophet. According to Persian tradition, wearing turquoise wards off the evil eye and protects against enemies. The turquoise trail began long ago: in the treasuries of Susa and Persepolis, archaeologists have discovered numerous jewels adorned with the blue stone. But it is especially in the Treasury of the Shahs of Iran, deep in the basements of the Melli Bank in Tehran, that one of the largest known quantities of precious stones and jewelry in the world is hidden. Virtually never filmed, you will have the privilege of immersing yourself in this Treasury. Called by the Shah of Iran, the Boucheron family participated in the restoration and exhibition of this Treasury as it is today. This story will be told in this film and will allow you to discover the contemporary turquoise creations of Jeweler Boucheron.
