Turquoise comes in many grades and types. Some turquoise has been stabilized to improve the color and make it less brittle. Stabilized turquoise may be green or blue. Natural turquoise is higher grade stuff.
Turquoise is considered a semi-precious stone and has long been thought to contain spiritual powers. Today, turquoise is still a very popular semi-precious stone and is most often set with sterling silver, such as turquoise and silver necklace, or turquoise and silver bracelet.
As we all know, turquoise is the December birthstone, it can be opaque or translucent, and a turquoise necklace made of beads conveys an iridescent, whimsical effect. Some jewelry designers set their turquoise necklaces in platinum, silver, or gold; sometimes, turquoise was use to be a complementary for other gemstones to enhance effect. Chokers or neckbands decorated with turquoise are also popular as fashion accessories.
Turquoise necklaces made from Persian or Iranian turquoise are the most expensive, since this variety of turquoise is considered to be of the highest quality. However, there are some less expensive varieties from Mexican, Chinese, Egyptian and American sources. Turquoise necklaces are perfect for casual wear, especially during summer, but can also be worn combined with other jewels for more formal occasions, so they are popular with women all over the world, especially for the celebrities. Socialite Nicky Hilton, country singer Lari White and actress Ali Landry are some of the celebrities who have been photographed wearing turquoise necklaces.
