Turquoise - Care and Style Ideas
Turquoise has long been synonymous with Native American culture and Southwestern region. It has an entrancing quality with its various sizes, shapes, colors and textures.
In researching this gemstone, I found some interesting information. Turquoise was first mined over 6,000 years ago in the Sinai Desert. Turquoise stones were used in jewelry and furniture in the Middle East, Asia and Africa.
It is a mineral that has no particular shape. What is a dichotomous, yet intriguing fact about turquoise is that it is a water rich mineral, yet forms only in dry regions of the world. It is said that the finest turquoise comes from Iran where it has been mined for 3,000 years. The world’s largest deposits are in the United States, particularly the Southwest.
Turquoise is flexible for casual and more dressed up wardrobe selections.
CARE: Turquoise is inherently fragile and sensitive to solvents. Protect your stones and their colors from perfume, skin lotions and oils (including sunscreens), hairspray and most jewelry cleaning fluids. When you wear turquoise, apply any of these solutions first, wait a while and then put on your jewelry.
Gently clean your turquoise with a soft cloth (100% cotton is recommended) to avoid a build up of residue. Store it alone, but avoid airtight containers so that the mineral can “breathe”.
Below are some ways to add turquoise jewelry to your wardrobe. Buy the jewelry in the Southwest Sizzle Collection.
