Turquoise Jewelry and the Gemstones Itself – A Background Check

We have all established that turquoise jewelry had and will always have great value as an object of pure beauty and as an object of reverence. Turquoise jewelry is worn by both men and women alike although men seem to wear it for purposes that are purely functional. Let’s take a journey with this fabulous gemstone and discover its story…

The origin

The word turquoise is actually derived from the word ‘Turkish’ because it was a frequent item of trade in the Turkish bazaars during the 16th century. However this leads to the misconception that turquoise existed in and originated from Turkey. Evidence shows us that turquoise came from other parts of the globe as well. Places like America, Tibet, China and Iran. The civilizations of the old world like the Native Americans, the Aztecs, and the Egyptians etc. used turquoise in their daily lives. They had turquoise jewelry, turquoise adornments etc.

The structure

Turquoise, especially turquoise jewelry has enchanted the masses for centuries. This stone has always been desirable no matter which era we observe. What is it that makes this gemstone what it is?
It is a known fact that turquoise gets it colors from the minerals that are present in it, i.e. copper, aluminum and zinc. There is even the rare kind that is absolutely void of minerals. This one is call the White Buffalo turquoise. However the stone that intrigues most turquoise jewelry collectors is the spider matrix stone. This stone has a structure that resembles the web of a spider all around it. This web is generally is brown or black.

Turquoise jewelry with a combination of other precious and semi precious stones

While turquoise jewelry looks exquisite by itself, it looks even better when combined with certain other stones. One of the most beautiful such combinations is the one with red corals. The cooling blue of the turquoise offsets the warm fire of the red coral beautifully. Some may even use this combination as a metaphor for the sea and sky – the turquoise being the sky and the coral the sea. Turquoise is the birthstone of a December born child. A piece of turquoise jewelry is considered their companion and you will find that this piece of jewelry is kept for many years as it becomes a part of the owner’s identity.

Looking after that piece of turquoise jewelry

The ways of looking after turquoise jewelry have been agreed and disagreed on. Some say that a warm soapy solution and a cotton swab will do the trick. Other say that because the stone is porous it should be kept away from liquids at all costs as they might get absorbed and lead to damage of the stone. The method for cleaning turquoise jewelry that seems to be universally agreed on seems to be cleaning it with a piece of silver buff cloth. Because the stone is so fragile, care must also be taken to ensure that it is protected from physical impact. Turquoise jewelry should always be stored in a soft padded box to prevent it from being damaged.
