Turquoise is one of the oldest gemstones used in jewelry, worn across cultures for thousands of years. Its distinct blue-green color still makes it one of the most requested stones today.
What does turquoise symbolize?
Turquoise is traditionally associated with protection, calm, and good fortune. It has been worn as a protective talisman across many cultures throughout history, from ancient Egypt to the American Southwest.
Is turquoise a birthstone?
Yes, turquoise is the birthstone for December, making it a popular gift for winter birthdays alongside other December stones like zircon and tanzanite.
Why does turquoise vary so much in color?
Natural turquoise ranges from sky blue to a greener tone depending on the mineral content of the deposit it came from. This natural variation means no two pieces of genuine turquoise look exactly alike.
Does turquoise pair well with gold or silver?
Both. Turquoise with silver has a classic, Southwestern-inspired look, while turquoise set in gold reads as slightly warmer and more contemporary. Neither is more correct than the other.
How do you keep turquoise jewelry looking its best?
Avoid exposing turquoise to lotions, perfumes, and prolonged sunlight, all of which can affect its color over time. Wipe with a soft cloth after wear and store away from direct light.
