Turquoise's everyday wear suitability in protective bezels, pendants, and earrings is the practical answer that the stone's hardness makes necessary and that the jewelry traditions developed around this stone have built in for centuries.
Industry Insight
A cuff bracelet or ear cuff has no clasp and no piercing. The open-backed construction slips on and adjusts to fit, which is why cuffs accommodate a wider range of wearers than virtually any other jewelry format without custom sizing.
A Notable Quality
Hammered finish is worked directly into the metal surface, not applied on top of it. That means it's as durable as the base metal, and nothing chips, fades, or wears away separately. For a finish that's meant for daily wear, that's the right construction.
