Turquoise – “Gemstone of the People”

Posted on by
Reply

In many cultures of the Old and New Worlds, Turquoise has been esteemed for thousands of years as a holy stone, a bringer of good fortune or a talisman. It really does have the right to be called a “gemstone of the people”.

Turquoise Jewelry in either a contemporary or traditional setting is always in style and accentuates  an eclectic, natural look. Be sure you have a piece of Turquoise Jewelry in your Collection it’s a must have this season.

Creations by Elfi Altendorfer - www.treschicfashionjewelry.com

How to care for Turquoise Jewelry:

Being a phosphate mineral, Turquoise is inherently fragile and sensitive to solvents; perfume and other cosmetics will attack the finish and may alter the colour of turquoise gems, as will skin oils, as will most commercial jewelry cleaning fluids. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may also discolor or dehydrate turquoise. Care should therefore be taken when wearing such jewels: cosmetics, including sunscreen and hair spray, should be applied before putting on turquoise jewelry, and they should not be worn to a beach or other sun-bathed environment. After use, turquoise should be gently cleaned with a soft cloth to avoid a build up of residue, and should be stored in its own container to avoid scratching by harder gems. Turquoise can also be adversely affected if stored in an airtight container.

Fashion and Jewelry Trends :  2012 is all about sustainability, recycled, raw pieces that will range from classic to exotic and of course the color blue specially when it comes to fashion and jewelry; turquoise tones, navy, aqua, azure, in general blue will definitely be the color of the year. In addition to blue, greens and purples be complementary colors, while yellows will give a contrast and the beige, khaki and lavender tones will soften the year. The trick is to always have few pieces that are in season but always opt for variety when in comes to color and jewelry.
One of the must have jewelry  items that will complete your wardrobe is a Choker Necklace.

On a personal note: it’s all about how things are put together, regardless of materials. 

Always in style and trendsetting and accessorized with her favorite ©TrèsChic Necklace and Bracelet

Mixed Media Jewelry
Handmade jewelry has gained position among the top trends this year. The effort that goes into creating each piece is priceless. It generates a very individual look for the wearer. The use of mixed materials like felt, recycled metals, handblown glass, resin…. in combination with gold and/or silver to add final touches is not possible without hand crafting.

Turquoise Jewelry
Gemstones are a integral part of fashionable jewelry. Turquoise, is back this season in various attractive and classy colors.

Agate Jewelry
Another unique and stunning gemstone used in jewelry making is quite famous due to its multi-faceted pattern and its availability in many colors and shapes. Being multi colored, it can be worn with various outfits to change the look.
