Wednesday, September 15, 2010

Can not deny that nowadays TURQUOISE is founded widely in jewelry and fashion. Since the beginning of the year 2010, many brands release their new items with the turquoise stone and turquoise color. Because of the color of turquoise is not over bright and mellow like the pastel tone and looks relaxing, so that is compatible with many colors such as white, gray, dark blue, or black. Moreover, in many country has the belief that turquoise means to "Protection" and some area use this stone for treatment, so no wonder that turquoise always use to make the jewelry and amulet.

Turquoise is used for making jewelry since first dynasty of Egypt or may be before. The French conducted archaeological excavation of Egypt and found many jewelry which use turquoise. In France, turquoise was first introduced from the Turkish, so they call "Turkish Stone". In the culture of Western, turquoise is the traditional birthstone for who born in December.

The most of turquoises which used in jewelry are synthetic (also called fake turquoise), because the price is not too high and easy to take care. The color of real turquoise may become pale when it get heat or when the time passed by but not for synthetic, the color of synthetic turquoise is always bright. The synthetic turquoise stone is first produced from Egyptian by glazed earthenware.



Many people may doubt that some turquoises have the dark veins like the spiderweb but some are not, those dark veins called "Spiderweb matrix". The matrix is occurred from the weather and oxidation processing over millions of years. In some country matrix is make the turquoise more beautiful and more value, on the others hand many country in Middle East thought that making imperfection with the stone and the value is less.




Many items of our product use turquoise stone to compose the jewelry, and certainly that is always popular.

  1. Turquoise is a beautiful stone that appears in a stream of heavenly colours - from aqua blue to light azure green. It has a pure and uplifting energy, like clear waters in a most ideal natural setting.
