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?

Selecting the right loose turquoise depends on your design goals. Consider turquoise cabochons for rings and pendants, beads for necklaces and bracelets, and carving stones for intricate designs. Choose from blue turquoise, green turquoise, or Persian turquoise based on your preferred aesthetic.

On the clarity options it goes "and better" so if youre looking for si specifically and you click si and better it still shows you basically everything. It just removes the opaques. Itd be nice if it was vs only, vss only, si only, etc

The citrine gems are beautiful. I appreciated that each stone was individually shown on the website so I could see exactly what I was getting. No mystery person selecting random stones for me. The documentation included with each gem was high quality as well. Great price and arrived as expected.
