I have not seen these in Turquoise!

Although today on Amazon, they have Purple (More pink that purple) and Green too! There goes the housekeeping money!

Bought these off a seller on ebay in a turquoise shade   blk mini turquoise tights.JPG    seller was madame fantasy not only sells on ebay but has a site to online
As you probably know from my pics I love my turquoise (even if no-one in the UK pronounces it properly, turk-woyz, meh).

I have no idea what you mean...  😇

Groan, Merriam-Webster is an American dictionary, cf the first pronounciation given by the Oxford English Dictionary which (so far as I can tell) is essentially tur-KwArse. 

You'd be regarded as more than bit of pretentious knob if you actually pronounced it that way anywhere in the UK outside of central/western London though 😉  Nearly forty years ago I just happened to have be taught French by a woman who had a bug about this word/
Here we go:
https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/turquoise /ˈtəːkwɑːz/ /ˈtəːkwɔɪz/ (the audio file says /ˈtɜː.kwɔɪz/ )
http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictiona.../turquoise UK: ​ /ˈtɜː.kwɔɪz/ US:​ /ˈtɝː.kɔɪz/

BTW, in Dutch it's pronounced "the French way" - [ˈtəːkwɑːz]

Yeah, good old English... "Liquorice", "women", "queue", "ghoti"...

Meh, I'm going with 'the French Way' too. One, because I'm a Remainer, and two, because I generally quite like the French anyway 😊

New member here.... Wanted to share these of myself in a pair of Cecilia De Rafeal's Sevilla. Took these recently in a private setting.
