Sharing is caring!

 

The blue-green color and unique texture of turquoise has made it a favorite for accessories of all kinds for thousands of years. The first evidence of this gemstone being worn as jewelry dates back to 3000 BCE in ancient Egypt when Egyptians used it in rings and gold necklaces as well as to make scarabs and as inlays. 

In recent times, turquoise has made an appearance in most fashion trends and easily crosses the line from minimalism if used as accents to statement pieces. If you’d like to include more turquoise jewelry in your style, here are some fashion tips to help you style it with confidence.

  1. Make Sure it Fits Your Personal Style 

Just because large, chunky turquoise jewelry may be ‘in’ at the moment doesn’t mean you have to wear it in that way. Always make sure you consider your own personal style when choosing and wearing turquoise pieces. If your style is more subtle or minimalist, choose pieces where turquoise is a small accent rather than the centerpiece, or opt for dainty pieces that blend with the rest of your outfit. 

  1. Limit Large Pieces 

Large turquoise pieces are stunning and eye-catching, but they can easily overwhelm your look if you wear too many of them. When wearing a statement piece like a chunky necklace or large ring, complement it with minimalist pieces like simple silver earrings or a chain bracelet. 

  1. Create a Boho Look 

The Boho look is popular right now and, fortunately for turquoise lovers, the unique gem fits right into the trend! This style is all about unique accessories, flowing lines, and fitting in with the natural environment. Pair your favorite turquoise pieces with breezy skirts, easy-to-wear dresses, hats, and fabrics made of natural fibers. 

  1. Decide If You’re Going Casual or Professional 

Though turquoise fits in with both casual and professional styles, it’s a good idea to figure out which look you’re trying to achieve before you choose which pieces to buy or wear. If you’re trying to achieve a professional look, select jewelry with smaller stones and remember to balance them out with other minimalist pieces. Going casual? Feel free to reach for statement pieces or mix and match different types of turquoise jewelry for a unique look that fits your personality. 

  1. Pay Attention to Quality 

Quality turquoise jewelry is always worth the investment. Well-made jewelry will look better and last longer and can be passed down as a family heirloom. If you find cheap turquoise jewelry, it is likely fake and made out of a mineral called howlite. Not only will it lack the uniqueness and beauty of real turquoise, but it may also be toxic and will not have the resale value of the real gem. If you’re on a budget, choose one well-made, authentic piece rather than multiple lower-priced items that are of low quality. 

The Right Turquoise Jewelry for You 

Though these tips are useful for anyone who wants to incorporate turquoise jewelry into their fashion, it’s important to note that how you style your pieces is a personal and unique journey. Always rely on your own style and preferences and your jewelry will be a positive reflection of who you are.
