Jewelry Trends Color vs. Costly Gems
With the economy being what it is, jewelry trends are leaning towards cheaper alternatives to expensive gems.
Although Sterling Silver is still going strong (its alot cheaper than gold) things like crystals, glass and less expensive stones are being snatched up by young and old alike.
Color, and lots of it in pieces like necklaces and large rings are in style. In the past it was having alot of rings , now it is a case of less being more, less rings, but larger in size.
Take this Resin Ring for example: Its beautiful color comes from Turquoise colored resin rather than a costly stone. The ring itself is big and bold . Its one inch long across the top, and its all done in sterling silver. Adding resin rather than an expensive stone makes this ring affordable, trendy and Fabulous!
Turquoise Cuff Bracelets
Turquoise is truly a captivating stone. It is considered a stone of life, beauty, and good fortune.
Turquoise has a waxy luster. It is typically blue-green with brown/black veins of matrix running through it. Some turquoise is dyed to give it an evenly vivid color.
Most turquoise is stabilized to improve overall strength and polish. Some is crushed or pulverized into a fine powder , stabilizers are added and it is formed into many different shapes like this Turquoise Cuff Bracelet.
Turquoise is porous, so chemicals can damage it. Use only pure water and a soft cloth to wipe it clean, and you can clean your turquoise frequently without causing damage.
The natural oil of your skin is good for turquoise, and it will naturally polish it when you wear it. If it is set in silver, wearing if often will also keep the silver from tarnishing.
