Turquoise Meaning

Turquoise is the traditional birthstone for December, and symbolizes good fortune, protection, and in the Hindu culture the 5th chakra (of the throat). Turquoise was used by ancient cultures as a talisman or holy stone as is demonstrated by their presence at the burial sites of the ancient Egyptians. The Egyptians called turquoise "mefkat," which roughly translates to "joy."

Turquoise stones were also considered to be fortune-tellers in ancient times. When the stones would change color, it was interpreted as a sign of impending danger or bad fortune for the person carrying the stone. However, while turquoise can change color over time, it has been shown that exposure to sunlight and chemical interactions with the skin are the cause.

Types of Turquoise Necklaces

Turquoise is an incredibly versatile stone for both beaded designs and pendant necklaces. Whether you are looking for a single or multi-stranded design, we have the look and price you want. We also include styles with other gemstones and ornaments including cultured pearls, diamonds, and blue topaz.

Turquoise's brilliant colors do most of the work for your accessorizing, so we keep our styles simple and classic. Our pendants are some of the most popular, as they are simplistic enough for wear at the office, but equally elegant to adorn evening attire. The many different designs within our curated collection guarantees you'll find the right style for your fashion sense.
