What makes turquoise so aesthetically beautiful and unique is the bright blue and vibrant green hues of the stone. Turquoise is composed of hydrous phosphate of copper and aluminum, and its color is influenced by the presence of copper, iron, or zinc. This natural variation in hue and pattern makes turquoise jewelry especially captivating. Whether set in a traditional Navajo design or a contemporary silver ring, turquoise has the power to elevate any piece of jewelry.

Turquoise in Jewelry: From Classic to Contemporary

One of the best things about turquoise is that it is incredibly versatile. This means that you can craft it into any type of jewelry. Use it as a pendant, an earring, necklace, anklet, bracelet or even brooches. 

Navajo and Zuni designs are particularly famous for their use of turquoise. The Navajo is known for intricate silver work and Zuni is known for mosaic inlay work, where small pieces of turquoise are arranged into geometric patterns, often with the addition of coral or other stones.

For contemporary style, turquoise is combined with materials like gold, leather, and even diamonds to give it that modern twist but still honor the traditional touch it carries. 

Caring for Turquoise Jewelry

Like any other gemstone, turquoise also needs special care. Although turquoise is said to be highly durable, you still need to pay attention to how you store it. 

• Avoid exposure to chemicals like hairspray, perfume, and cleaning products.

• Store turquoise jewelry in a soft cloth or pouch to avoid scratching.

• Clean gently with a soft cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals or ultrasonic cleaners.

• Keep it dry as prolonged exposure to water can cause the stone to lose its vibrant color.
