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.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Nice earrings, pendant a little small,
By MauiGirl (maui, HI) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sterling Silver Red Jasper Inlay Teardrop-Shaped Earrings with Matching Pendant Set, 16" (Jewelry)
Ordered this et as a gift for my sister. The earrings are nice and look classy. The matcing pendant is very small (almost too small for an adult) and is the sme size as the earring dangle. I ended up only gifting the earrings to my sister and setting the necklace aside.

This review is from: Sterling Silver Red Jasper Inlay Teardrop-Shaped Earrings with Matching Pendant Set, 16" (Jewelry)
I was afraid of ordering jewelry online, but I'm a busy dude and my anniversary was 2 days away - what better gift than a collection of cheap Amazon jewelry delivered Amazon-fast?
I ordered a few different pieces in this price range, but this one stands out as by far the best quality and most beautiful. My wife wears the set everyday. The others are gathering dust. Basically, the stones are a little smaller than they look in the picture, and the silver setting is a little "thinner." In the product pictures, it looks like it would be a little wide and frail, but in reality, it's well put together, brushed, and the stones are set very professionally. You won't find better quality in a local jewelry store for less than a hundred bucks, so I definitely recommend this set. I order absolutely everything on Amazon and this only like my tenth review, so you know I'm impressed.
