Look For The Aspects
1. Turquoise is water-based
What do we mean by that? Turquoise is water-based by nature and forms in rocks. Real turquoise would have fragments of rocks within. Looking for the same, would let you know if the piece being sold to you is genuine or not.

3. Turquoise Color
How does the colour of the stone come so sleek and perfect? Treatments of course! So generally what the goldsmith would do is to treat the raw procured stone and bring it to a suitable colour, before embossing it on metal for the ultimate touch!

While shopping for turquoise jewelry designs to match up with your Indian ethnic wear this festival season, you should understand the varied range out there which can be chosen and bought from.

1. Natural turquoise for example doesn’t have any alteration done to them. The stone is cut and shaped; polished to perfection. Because turquoise is a phosphate material, it can be sensitive to perfumes and cosmetics. To test the same, if the stone changes colour when perspiration touches it, you would then know that the stone is genuine.

2. Stabilized designer turquoise jewelry numbers are those that have been treated with acrylic acid to fill the pores of the stone. Much of the stone color is preserved and doesn’t change over the years that pass by. Such type of turquoise is used in making chic and trendy jewelry and is often cheaper to that of the natural ones that are sold.

3. You also have turquoise jewelry that has been treated to colour enhancements, much on the same lines of the stabilized ones. Here, we would have dyes used to help accentuate the colour of the stone, a chalky soft blue touch which doesn’t bring on a natural look, but is eye-catching no doubt. Scratches develop on this stone easily, and hence is one of the cheaper options for PYTs to buy for daily wear!

4. The reconstituted versions of turquoise jewelry is a chalky type where the stone is powdered fine and mixed with epoxy and colours, to mold into a solid form at a later stage. Once it turns solid, the stone is cut and embossed on the statement piece.

5. The simulated turquoise version has no gemstone as such and is made from materials such as plastic. You can call it an imitation and is much on the same lines of costume jewelry.
