Turquoise is HOT! (STILL!) is such a timeless classic and how nice to see such on the February 2020 issue of Town & Country Magazine! The feature article of Aerin Lauder about jewels, heritage and legacy, highlights images of Lauder modeling a variety of jewelry collections juxtoposed with historic/earlier photos of icons doing the same -- including on page 68, Millicent Rogers draped in turquoise (and accented with diamonds) as photographed by Louise Dahl-Wolfe for Harper's Bazaar in 1948.
