Ah, the colour turquoise - my all time favourite. Brings back memories of our trip to Arizona a few years back - where turquoise jewelry was in abundance on every street corner. I've incorporated stabilized turquoise stones into my latest ring creations - they inspire me. The blue hue is attributed to copper content, while some turquoise gems lean towards shades of green right up to a white colour. Unfortunately, using genuine turquoise is not affordable, therefore, a stabilized version is a good alternative. Stabilization is the process of using resin, water & crushed particles of unsaleable American turquoise & compressing into faux stones.
Enjoy today's little "gems".
