About Turquoise Jewelry
History
The word "turquoise" was derived from the French term "pierre turquoise," meaning "stone of Turkey." This was after a 16th century European misconception that the stones originated in Turkey, when in fact they were first discovered in Persia. Turquoise is formed over millions of years with a chemical reaction when water leaks into rocks containing copper and aluminum minerals. Experts believe Turquoise was first mined in 6000 B.C. by ancient Egyptians and today it is mined in countries all around the world, including, China, Iran, the United States and Tibet.
Turquoise jewelry was first discovered within Egyptian tombs that date back to 3500 B.C. Cultures around the world have embraced the tradition of turquoise jewelry in the belief that it possesses healing and protective powers. While turquoise jewelry continues to be worn by many who believe it will attract money, luck and love, today, it is also a prevalent fashion accessory and serves as a December birthstone, as well as the stone for the fifth and eleventh wedding anniversaries.
Types of Turquoise
Turquoise may range in color from light blue to green. It may contain a variety of natural definitions, from white to black, which add a one-of-a-kind look to each stone. While the variances in color and matrix do not affect the value of the stone, there are properties that make some turquoise more expensive than others, most likely color uniformity and vividness. Turquoise jewelry is often treated in order to bring out the vibrant color and radiance of each stone.
Caring For Your Turquoise Jewelry
Like all natural gemstones, turquoise can be damaged if not cared for properly. Clean with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth, drying after washing. Avoid scratches by storing separate from other jewelry. Avoid exposure to oils, perfumes, and chemicals that may affect the stone’s vivid color.

This review is from: Sterling Silver Genuine Turquoise Chip Double Strand Necklace, 18" (Jewelry)
I bought 2 of these necklaces @ the $10 introductory price. Certainly worth more. Unlike some turquoise chip jewelry out there , they have some brown marbling which I love ! I lived in the Southwest for years & got pretty picky about my turquoise. It looks real, in other words, unlike some I have seen. The double strand is a nice length & has a good clasp.
My only negative is that it could lay a bit flatter ~ HOWEVER ~ I just got it & assume it will even out as has been my experience.That is the only reason I docked it a star. I am already buying a few more for Christmas gifts !

This review is from: Sterling Silver Genuine Turquoise Chip Double Strand Necklace, 18" (Jewelry)
It states that the necklace is "Sterling Silver Genuine Turquoise Chip". But then in the fine print of the description it says the turquoise is simulated - since when is that "genuine?" And the sterling silver is only the tiny lobster clasp, which seems undersized for the necklace. That being said, it is a nice necklace for the price.
