Turquoise Jewellery

Want a piece of turquoise jewellery? We’ve answered some of the most commonly asked questions about it so you know what to look for! 

What’s the meaning behind turquoise jewellery?

Turquoise jewellery is believed to have healing properties. It brings fortune and protection to its wearer, and it’s also sometimes used as a love charm. 

In some cultures, turquoise jewellery is also used to protect the wearer from the evil eye (a curse caused by a malevolent glare, usually envious in nature). Our Evil Eye Turquoise Stud Earrings are just one example of protective turquoise jewellery. 

Turquoise is a beautiful, elegant option for anyone drawn to cooler colours and semi-precious stones. 

Can turquoise jewellery be used as a birthstone?

Absolutely! Turquoise is the birthstone for December, but also for Sagittarius. 

Birthstones are believed to give their wearer spiritual guidance, wisdom, and protection. In recent years, birthstone jewellery has become more popular than ever, thanks to a growing interest in crystals and astrology. 

What are the latest turquoise jewellery trends for 2025?

Statement turquoise jewellery is expected to take centre stage in 2025 jewellery trends as self-expression and individual choice become more popular in the industry. Heavy yellow gold designs, chunky jewellery, bead necklaces (like our Turquoise Stone Pearl Necklace), and colourful gemstone pieces are also more popular than ever. 

Subtle designs and vintage-inspired jewellery are expected to trend in 2025. Simple, handcrafted turquoise jewellery that blends into the background of subtle outfits is especially trendy at the moment

Customers are calling for more transparency in the jewellery industry and more sustainable practices. Lab-grown diamonds, recycled materials, and ethically sourced gemstones and pearls are central to customers’ purchasing choices as more people become aware of the threat of climate change.  

Can turquoise jewellery be worn every day, or is it fragile?

Mostly, yes! Turquoise is reasonably strong and scores a 5-6 on the Mohs hardness scale. It’s not as strong as something like diamond or moissanite, but with proper care, it can be worn as often as you like. 

Metal elements should be wiped clean with a damp microfibre cloth or a soft-bristled toothbrush. When not being worn, keep turquoise jewellery in its pouch or wrapped in soft white cotton. Avoid exposing it to harsh or scented chemicals and excess water. Remove turquoise jewellery before swimming, showering, or exercising.

Is turquoise jewellery suitable as a gift for special occasions?

Absolutely! Turquoise jewellery is stylish and elegant, perfect for showing someone special how much they mean to you. It’s especially ideal for those interested in the spiritual properties of crystals, astrology lovers, or anyone who feels they need protection from evil spirits or the Evil Eye. 

Turquoise jewellery is also ideal for December or Sagittarius birthdays or for celebrating anniversaries and important milestones at the end of the year, as it’s a birthstone. 

If you want to give someone turquoise jewellery, think about what designs they’re likely to love, and pick something that blends well with their everyday wardrobe.  

How do I choose the right turquoise piece for my outfit or occasion?

Turquoise jewellery is incredibly versatile, and blends brilliantly into most occasions. Here’s a guide to the basic rules to follow for different settings or situations: 

• Formal occasions: Choose a polished, elegant design, such as a dainty pendant necklace, set of stud earrings, or a sleek silver or gold bracelet (like our 3 Station Clover Turquoise Sapphire Bracelet). 
• Festivals and special events: Festivals allow you to explore statement pieces. Chunky necklaces, unique shapes, and vivid colours help you stand out at special events. 
• Casual outfits: Casual settings are ideal for experimenting with your style and selecting jewellery you love. Mix a pair of subtle turquoise earrings with a statement gemstone ring, or add a minimalist turquoise necklace to a stack of modern necklaces.

What are the best metals to pair with turquoise jewellery?

Sterling silver is the most commonly used metal for turquoise jewellery. Its subtle elegance highlights the cooler tones in turquoise, and it was popularised by Native American jewellery.

If you prefer warmer metals, rose gold or yellow gold turquoise jewellery can bring out the stone's warmer hues.  For a more natural look, try copper. 

Above all, pick something you feel comfortable and confident wearing. If you have metal allergies, make sure you choose something that won’t give you an allergic reaction. 

At Camile and Stone, we offer a range of metals, from sterling silver to 18kt gold vermeil, 18kt gold plated eco-brass, 14kt solid gold, and rose gold designs. 

What makes turquoise jewellery unique compared to other gemstones?

Turquoise comes in a wide range of colours and is formed by the disintegration of the minerals around it, which remain in the stone as veins. The host stone or mineral differs, but the veins are never identical. Each piece of turquoise is unique, like a fingerprint or a snowflake. 

Turquoise jewellery also has a rich cultural history, and it can be a great way to celebrate your ancestors and their beliefs through fashion. It’s ideal for geologists, astrology lovers, and anyone who loves the appearance or meaning of turquoise.
