Green turquoise jewelry designs are very popular amongst a lot of people for two reasons. Firstly the greenish blue tint of turquoise is hard to replicate. Secondly, the greenish blue hue of the gemstone brings a sense of fascination and mystique wrapped with beauty and charm. This is why a large number of designs have been developed around the beautiful gemstone. The stylish nature of the gemstone comes from the blend of green with blue. However, it is soft and hence one would find that in green turquoise jewelry there is sufficient support on all sides to avoid its cracking. The stone can get scratched easily as well.
Green turquoise jewelry owes its color to the greenish aluminum content while copper adds a hint of blue to the gemstone. Turquoise is a crystal belonging to the hydrated phosphate group and its molecule contains aluminum, copper along with water molecules held separately. Turquoise jewelry is amazingly popular for tropical ambience as it resembles the marine hues that one would find in the sea and the surrounding greenery. The aquatic or marine look brought about by green turquoise jewelry suits a whole array of attires, whether it is a formal occasion or a casual one.
There is a huge market and high demand for green turquoise used with silver or gold settings. In fact, it is the birth stone of Sagittarians. The greenish hue of the high quality Persian turquoise is considered to be the best when it comes to its use in gold jewelry. What adds to the beauty of the turquoise jewelry is also the fact that the gemstone comes with a very symmetrical matrix pattern. This is not only beautiful to look at but is also very unique. The patterns of two different gemstones seldom ever match. The use of turquoise is quite common in pendants and necklaces, tiaras, earrings and bracelets. Even men’s tie pins and cufflinks are using this beautiful gemstone. It can really add a charming angle to any form of jewelry.

It brings a hint of sophistication to your jewelry and about your person. This is what pulls a lot of people towards this gemstone.
