turquoise jewelry
Blue-green stone accessories
Turquoise jewelry is ornamental pieces—rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings—featuring the blue-green mineral turquoise.
The term evokes Native American craftsmanship, particularly Navajo and Zuni silverwork from the American Southwest: She wore heavy turquoise jewelry from a trading post in New Mexico.
The style ranges from traditional silver-and-stone pieces to contemporary designs.
