Turquoise Fine Jewelry

The turquoise stone has long been a fine jewelry option. There is such a variation of color and depth that turquoise lends itself to many metals. Turquoise jewelry can be set in sterling silver or gold.

Depending on the elements in the turquoise, it can have a number of colors and patterns. It may have copper or black veins, or it may be clear. Turquoise can be different shades green or blue, and it may also be orange or purple. You may want the turquoise necklace set in a silver, sterling silver, or gold. Gold may range from the typical 10k to 24k weight.

If you are looking for a pendant with a single gem, you also have a wide variety of choices. A bezel set pendant features the stone snugly fitting within the setting. You may choose to add to your turquoise jewelry by having your pendant piece inlaid. This is when a series of stones are set within the metal next to each other. A mosaic is another design pattern for your turquoise necklace. You might decide you are happy with a string set of turquoise beads for a necklace. Beads can include a central pendant as an accent piece. A turquoise necklace can add interest by using beads of varying sizes.

When deciding on earrings, you will have the same general options with stone, metal, and setting type as you do with necklaces and pendants. The first thing to consider with earrings is whether they are designed for pierced or non-pierced ears. If non-pierced, you could opt for screw back or clip-on earrings. If pierced, you will need to decide on whether you want turquoise posts or wire earrings. There is a multitude of styles in pierced or non-pierced choices. You may want a pair of chandelier earrings. A pair of dangle earrings set in silver with beads could be what you are after. Perhaps you prefer Number 8 turquoise with its golden spider web design inlaid in gold to create a striking design. Hoops can have inlaid turquoise added to them.

You may opt for a large green turquoise set in sterling silver. A ring can be as intricate and ornate as you choose. Sterling silver scrollwork can set off a turquoise gem to create a work of art. On the other hand, a gemstone ring bezel set in gold is an elegant look.

You may decide that you want to add a silver cuff bracelet to your turquoise jewelry collection. The cuff is an enduring and versatile style. Turquoise can also be hung as a charm or included as a link on a delicate chain.
