Reasons Why It Is Necessary To Purchase A Genuine Turquoise Necklace

By Douglas Schmidt


For many years this semiprecious stone has been used by jewelers to manufacture quality jewels to consumers. Wearing jewels made using these precious stone was an indication of kindness, wisdom, trust and understanding. However some countries like America, China and Egypt believed that the wearing this gem protected one from disaster or unnatural death. The material still remains to be treasured by many people and due to scarcity of the stone, there have been limitations of these jewels. Below is a guide that will help you identify a Genuine Turquoise Necklace.

One of the key factors to look at is the color. It is always prudent to avoid buying a necklace which is muddled or too dark. Normally, clear, medium, saturated and intense color are mostly preferred. The more vivid and brighter the color is the better. This is because the color of the gemstone affects its value and how it will be showed in the jewelry.

However, the natural stone can also have black matrix, brown or even yellow ochre patterns. This is due to the presence of copper. A genuine precious stone has an opaque wary luster. Sometimes, depending on the type of turquoise this luster may or may not include matrix.

A genuine jewel is very expensive. Before purchasing any necklace one should always do a survey on the exact price of the products. This will help one in identifying the correct product for them. A necklace that is trading at a lower price compared to the genuine semiprecious stone price should not be purchased because it means it is not natural but rather a dyed stone.

Though at times business people will tend to lie to customers about the price one should not rely much on them. This is because some of them lack the expertise and do not even know how a real turquoise looks like.

To ensure that you are in a position to identify the real gem when out for shopping it is always important to touch the surface of the necklace. However having a know-how of how these gem stone looks like will always help in identifying the real one from the dyed ones.

A genuine turquoise will always have color uniformity and vividness. Though due to the scarcity of the stone small pieces can be combined to form a large stone which is therefore designed to the required jewel. A necklace which has been made using this gemstone may appear to have small cracks where the two pieces meet. Presence of small cracks should not make one doubt the product.

Buying jewels from a dealer who has been in the market is always recommended. This is because they have a lot of expertise in the industry and are in a position to help the client to identify the correct jewel. This is centrally to when one opts to buy from a less experienced dealer. These dealers do not have enough information and may end up misleading the client. Turquoise is very costly and if it is not well taken care of it can fade or lose its color. It is always necessary to take precaution when handling chemicals while wearing the jewels.
