Turquoise is a vibrant semi-precious gemstone that gains its unique bluish green colour from the presence of copper and iron within its crystal system. Our stunning selection of designer turquoise jewellery features a spectacular array of classic and modern designs to suit every style and any occasion.
Turquoise has been celebrated in jewellery ever since the Egyptian times, and its eye-catching colour, earthy lustre and ease of carving has made it popular in fine jewellery ever since. The appearance of turquoise can vary hugely, from a pale blue, to a rich sky blue. The greenish hue sometimes seen in turquoise can be caused by iron, heating or discolouration by the sun and oils. Some turquoise specimens contain 'matrix' rock, captivating dark areas of host rock, however turquoise which is absent from host rock is widely classed as finer material.
Turquoise derives its name from its ancient trade routes, reaching Europe through Turkey. Hence, the name 'Turkish Stone,' drawn from the old French 'torques' stuck. Turquoise itself isn't mined in Turkey, but found in locations such as Afghanistan, Argentina, Australia, Brazil, China, Isreal, Mexico, Tanzania and the USA.
