 For those who love to accessorize, one of the most fun things about having a large and varied jewelry collection is exploring and experimenting with the full range of colors and styles available. We all have our own preferences when it comes to stones, shapes and shades, but one particular color that is set to dominate the trends this year and beyond is stunning turquoise.

Seen by many as one of the most magical and mythical colors that the world of fashion and jewelry has to offer, turquoise stones are not only beautifully eye-catching but are also incredibly versatile and adaptable to different styles and aesthetics. This makes turquoise an absolute must-have in the jewelry box of any woman who takes her accessories seriously!

What Does Turquoise Symbolize?

All gemstones and precious stones used in jewelry are imbued with symbolism. 

In ancient times, particularly in Persia and Mesopotamia, turquoise was credited with protective properties and was widely used to adorn daggers and horse bridles. Called pirouzeh, meaning victory, it was also used in turban and neck jewelry. 

The Aztec civilization believed this too and artifacts show it was used in ceremonial masks, knives, and shields.

Turquoise was also popular among Native Americans, particularly the Apache tribe, Hunters believed it gave greater accuracy to their bows and it was used in sacred ceremonies by shamen to commune with the spirit of the sky.

Today, turquoise embodies a sense of laid-back charm and free-spirited vibes. Its vibrant hues evoke images of sunny skies and tranquil seas, symbolizing adventure, exploration, and a connection to nature. Turquoise is often seen as a symbol of friendship and good fortune, making it a popular choice for gifts among friends and loved ones.

Beyond its aesthetic appeal, turquoise is cherished for its calming energy and ability to promote self-expression and creativity. Whether worn as a simple pendant or incorporated into intricate designs, turquoise adds a touch of bohemian flair to any jewelry collection, inviting wearers to embrace their individuality and wanderlust spirit.

Here are some helpful pointers on how to wear and style turquoise jewelry.

Unlock The Power Of Turquoise Versatility

Turquoise jewelry comes in various forms from dainty earrings to chunky necklaces and statement bracelets. Before styling, consider the occasion, your outfit, and personal preferences. With a plethora of versatile pieces of jewelry to choose from, turquoise blends seamlessly with both casual and formal attire, and lighter and darker colors, making it suitable for everyday wear or special occasions.

Get The Balance Just Right

When accessorizing with a piece of turquoise jewelry, aim for balance. If you're wearing a bold turquoise necklace, opt for smaller earrings or skip them altogether to avoid overwhelming your look. Conversely, if you choose sizable turquoise earrings, keep other accessories minimal, subtle pieces to maintain harmony.

Opt For Complementing Colors

Turquoise styles pair beautifully with neutral colors and tones like white, beige, and gray, enhancing their understated elegance. For a bolder statement, combine turquoise with warm hues such as coral, orange, or mustard yellow. Experiment with contrasting colors to create eye-catching ensembles that highlight the vibrancy of turquoise. When you get the right pop of color, you can turn a neutral outfit or white outfit into an unforgettable one.

Master The Best Layering Techniques

Layering turquoise jewelry can create a captivating look with depth and dimension. Mix and match different lengths of necklaces or stack bracelets for a bohemian style-inspired look. Ensure each piece stands out while maintaining cohesion in your overall ensemble. Things like beaded bracelets and turquoise bead necklaces are perfect for capturing the layered bohemian touch.

Experiment With Mixing Metals

Don't shy away from mixing metals when wearing turquoise jewelry. Silver, gold, and rose gold complement turquoise beautifully, adding a touch of sophistication to your look. Embrace eclectic combinations to infuse personality into your outfit while showcasing the versatility of turquoise.

Pay Attention To Your Skin Tone

Turquoise jewelry can accentuate your natural beauty when paired with the right colors that complement your skin color and tone. Cool shade turquoise looks exquisite on individuals with fair or medium skin, while warmer shades of turquoise complement olive or darker skin tones.

Use Turquoise As A Statement Piece

Let turquoise jewelry take center stage by using it as a statement piece. Choose a bold turquoise classic statement necklace or an interesting ring as the focal point of your outfit and keep other accessories subtle to allow the turquoise to shine. There is nothing like a statement turquoise piece to make a beautiful fashion statement!

Perfect For Enhancing Formal Attire

Turquoise jewelry adds a touch of glamour to formal attire, whether it's a bright color cocktail dress, little black dress or a tailored suit. Opt for elegant turquoise drop earrings or a delicate bracelet to complement your ensemble without overpowering it. Let the turquoise accentuate your sophistication and style.

Don't Forget To Accessorize Casual Outfits Too

Elevate your casual attire effortlessly with turquoise jewelry. Pair a simple white T-shirt and denim jeans with a turquoise pendant necklace or turquoise stud earrings for a chic yet laid-back look. Turquoise effortlessly adds a pop of color and sophistication to everyday outfits.

All Important Personal Expression

Above all, let your personal style guide your choices when wearing turquoise jewelry pieces. Whether you prefer minimalist designs or bold statement pieces, embrace turquoise in a way that resonates with your unique taste and personality. Experiment with different styles and combinations to discover what makes you feel confident and empowered.
