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 is a timeless accessory that has remained popular for centuries. Discovered in ancient Egyptian tombs that date back to 3500 B.C., for years, cultures around the world have worn turquoise as 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.

Thank you Amazon for making this old man a fashion genius. Bought this for my wife at Christmas and she loves it along with the earrings. Got it for my sisters for Valentines Day and it is unamious, wonderful jewellry. The chains and mountings give them an extra expensive look and the inlay gives them depth. Now, just have to keep them all apart so they don't show up wearing them at the same time! They all absolutely love these sets in turquoise and jasper.

This review is from: Sterling Silver Turquoise Inlay Heart Pendant, 18" (Jewelry)
The necklace along with the earrings make a perfect balance! With the molding of the stone particles, the appearance of depth without being bulky is marvelous. Can be worn with dress-up, or dress-down because of the size and style. Purchased for my wife and sisters and they have never agreed on anything before but they all love these sets!!! The jasper and turquoise sets are equally impressive.
