Add Turquoise Jewelry to Your Store’s Inventory

People around the world have been fascinated by turquoise for thousands of years. Ancient Egyptians, Persians, and Native Americans believed the stone could heal people and bring them love and happiness. Turquoise has been popular for centuries because of its variations in color and shade.

How Turquoise Is Formed

Turquoise gets its color from copper. It is also formed from a mixture of water, aluminum, and phosphorus. The exact amount of each element affects the characteristics of the turquoise. Stones can range in color from blue to brownish green. Turquoise rarely has an even and uniform color.

Most genuine turquoise has a matrix. This comes from the remains of the host rock where the turquoise grows. The matrix can be black, brown, yellow, or other colors. A stone matrix within the turquoise is an indication that it is genuine.

How Turquoise Jewelry Is Made

Making turquoise into jewelry is difficult because the stone in its natural state is brittle and has a non-uniform color. Mines often only produce small amounts of identical turquoise. “Natural” turquoise is soft and brittle and has variations in color. Because of these properties, very little turquoise jewelry is natural.

Jewelry designers have found ways to make turquoise more durable and uniform so it can be used to make accessories. Turquoise jewelry can be stabilized. This means it is treated chemically with epoxy and dyes to improve its durability and color. Most genuine turquoise jewelry has been stabilized.
