Turquoise is a beautiful gem known for its wonderful hue. Though its colors vary from green to blue, Persian turquoise is one of the best and has a clear blue color. It is not a very hard stone but with some care one can wear turquoise jewelry regularly. The cost of the jewelry can vary, depending on the color, purity of the stone and on which metal it is set. In jewelry, turquoise stone is usually present as cabochons and it is used for bracelets, earrings, rings and pendants. Turquoise jewelry is timeless and can be worn anytime, and any season. Due to its brilliant hue, turquoise earrings or necklaces, pendants are set in white metal like silver or white gold and not yellow gold. Usually turquoise jewelry only contains this as the dominant gemstone due to its brilliant color. Turquoise drop earrings can complement any dress and style.

Turquoise rings are generally worn by December born people, as it is December birth stone. Blue turquoise cabochon rings are very sought after. Cabochons do full justice to this vibrant colored stone. Turquoise necklace or earrings set with diamonds looks very bewitching and can be pretty expensive. One can go for cheaper alternatives like turquoise sets in sterling silver.
