The year might be coming to a close, but we’re not ready to say goodbye to one of the biggest trends of 2019 just yet: Southwestern styles. If you’ve also been riding the desert-inspired wave that’s swept over Etsy and beyond, you’re likely already a fan of turquoise, the famous blue-green gemstone beloved for its earthy, boho-chic aesthetic. With its striking ability to anchor jewelry and accessible range of price points, December’s birthstone makes a terrific choice for holiday gifting—and as you make your festive party rounds, consider pops of turquoise for an unexpected but totally captivating take on seasonal accessorizing. Read on for five of our favorite pieces.

Looking to step up your everyday jewelry game? Thanks to their organic silver settings and intense blue hue, these dainty raw turquoise stud earrings deliver major style in a tiny package, making them understated enough to wear on the daily, but eye-catching enough to show off your naturally cool and creative side.

The allure of insect-inspired jewelry dates back as far as ancient Egypt, where soldiers donned scarab beetles for extra protection on the battlefield, but this gorgeous gold vintage pendant first buzzed to life in the swinging ‘60s when it was designed and worn as a brooch. Over half a century later, the delicately winged turquoise-and-pearl treasure has been given second life as a one-of-a-kind, statement-making necklace well worth a splurge.

With their distinctive hand-hammered bands (available in gold, rose gold, or silver) offset by polished solitaire stones, these slender turquoise rings look just as pretty on their own as they do piled three or four high, or mixed and matched with your other favorite gemstones. For a delightful ombré effect, try building a blended stack with sapphire and emerald pieces.

Hand-carved and cast in solid sterling silver or bronze, this sculptural pendant necklace features three Nevada-mined turquoise stones in a smooth robin’s egg blue—but our favorite detail may just be the movement of this Southwestern stunner. As the four fringe–like drop bars shift and sway, you’ll feel like a modern-day cowgirl in the best possible way—even if your afternoon involves wrangling kids rather than horses.

If a little turquoise goes a long way, then the substantial oblong chunk outfitting this 60mm-wide adjustable bangle goes a really long way. For a stylish take on the mixed metals trend, pick up one each in silver and plated gold, or layer the streamlined beauty with bulkier arm candy like watches and cuffs for an of-the-moment accessories melange.

Can anyone really have ENOUGH TURQUOISE? Not me! It is my birthstone and I’m continually adding jewelry, clothing, home decor... you name it.... because I never tire of it! I’m 59 this month so that’s a LOT OF TURQUOISE I’ve added through the years, and many more to come. Thank you for showcasing such gorgeous things!!

Considering that the Biscay Green color from PANTONE is one of the trend colors of 2020, turquoise would accompany us for a long time to come! And that is great!

Beautiful striking selection! Turquoise is one of my favorites of all time in jewelry, home decor, furniture and painted walls too. The combination of softness and intensity of the blue green colors looks gorgeous on everyone. I wear turquoise every day and couldn't go a day without it!

Being a Native of Arizona turquoise has always been part of my decor and the turquoise jewelry is especially close to my heart. Native American jewelry is the absolute best! I love vintage!

Healing Gems For You from HealingGems4You said 1 year ago
Great collection. Turquoise is a royal gemstone worn by kings and queens for protection. Turquoise is a gemstone for identifying wholeness and truth. Turquoise aids in the communication and manifestation of the truth and wholeness. Turquoise provides the wisdom that comes from all of experiences in life. Turquoise reiterates that wholeness can be achieved when we embrace the totality of our being and our experiences in life. Turquoise enables the release of feelings that do not empower the individual. It aids self forgiveness and self acceptance.
