for serenity
Turquoise
Turquoise brings an unmistakable blue-to-green color, sometimes crossed with a matrix pattern. Its saturated color gives handmade jewelry from our Nashville studio a vivid presence, worn on its own or layered.
- Color
- Opaque sky blue through blue-green, sometimes patterned with brown or black spiderweb-like matrix veining.
- Family
- A copper-bearing phosphate mineral with a porous structure; its dark veining is known as matrix.
- Wear
- 5–6 on the Mohs scale; protect from scratches, cosmetics, oils, and heat, which can affect its color.
- A little history
- Turquoise has appeared in jewelry for thousands of years, including pieces found in ancient Egyptian tombs.
