Turquoise is considered by the Native Americans
to be the sky stone. For centuries, generations
have been intrigued by this gem and it has been
incorporated into ceremonial and everyday
jewelry, and has long been passed down to
generations. The wearer actually develops a
unique bond with the turquoise jewelry as the
body oils evolve the color and character of the
gemstone.
When considering your purchase, the value of the
jewelry is determined by the density, depth of
color, stone matrix and rarity of the gemstone.
Density is most important because it determines
the stones color, depth, brilliance and is
considered a semi-precious gemstone, each with
its own unique character. The most valuable
grades, also being the rarest, have deep
brilliant shades of blues and greens that can be
reflected as a clear morning sky.
Matrix is what gives each gemstone it’s unique
character and signature. In grading the matrix,
a pattern that is evenly distributed is most
valuable. The “Spider web” matrix is the rarest
and most sought after.
Many shoppers of turquoise jewelry however are
mainly interested in finding that special piece
with a certain shape, color and matrix that
calls to them. The silver setting also adds
value by displaying the gemstone to its best
advantage. |
