What is loose turquoise, and how can it be used?

Loose turquoise refers to individual turquoise stones that are not set into jewelry. These stones are perfect for crafting custom pieces like turquoise rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, or pendants. Designers often choose loose turquoise for its versatility in creating unique, personalized jewelry.

What types of turquoise stones are available?

Our collection includes natural turquoise in various forms, such as turquoise cabochons, turquoise beads, and turquoise carving stones. We also offer a variety of shades, including blue turquoise and green turquoise, to suit your specific design needs.

What is Persian turquoise, and why is it popular?

Persian turquoise is a highly sought-after variety known for its vivid colors and minimal matrix. This high-grade turquoise is prized for its rich history and exceptional quality, making it a favorite for both collectors and jewelers.

Do you offer wholesale turquoise?

Yes, we provide wholesale turquoise options, including turquoise gemstone lots. These are ideal for jewelers or hobbyists looking to purchase larger quantities of loose turquoise at competitive prices.

What is the difference between opaque turquoise and high-grade turquoise?

Opaque turquoise refers to stones with solid, non-transparent appearances, often used for their bold, striking look. High-grade turquoise denotes stones with superior color, durability, and minimal matrix, making them highly valuable for fine jewelry.

Are turquoise beads suitable for necklaces and bracelets?

Absolutely! Turquoise beads are commonly used in turquoise necklaces and bracelets for their vibrant color and natural beauty. They are also popular for creating boho-style or contemporary designs.

How do I choose the right turquoise for my project?

GemSelect offers excellent choices, prices & service- highly recommended! Unfortunately, prior to ordering a replacement gemstone, my jeweler neglected to mention it needed to be one that was a'cushion cuta' to fit the existing mount. Have yet to return/exchangea'
