experimentation with the TURQUOISE RING yourself.
TURQUOISE -THE TRENDSETTER
Many designers have recently started giving accessories the importance that was
lacking a few decades ago. Turquoise jewelry in itself was a hit, and the rage
continues. The bold color and the striking wholeness of the gem has taken the
trendsetters by storm. Even though the gem is semi-precious, and not quite as
expensive as diamonds (and the like), even the rich and famous have downtraded
their precious stones for quality turquoise in QUANTITY. With turquoise, the
bigger, the bolder. The bolder, the better- the Rings especially. Though the
basic designs of the ring is quite simple and sleek, the turquoise used is
usually of considerable size .The beauty of the gem, is that even though it is
so vivid, it could never look boorish. When the Turquoise Ring was an accessory
of the pop culture, it was mainly set in cheap gold and silver and was rarely
offset by other gems. Recently, the use of American diamonds and high grade
gold is often used to enrich and increase the value of the ring.
TURQUOISE TRIVIA
The most valuable turquoise stone is said to be of the robin's egg blue or the
deep blue azure. Many collectors say that delicate veining on the gem adds to
the worth of the ring as it is proof of a natural stone. The evenness of the
color of turquoise is the deciding factor in the cost of the gem. The average
cost should be $2 per carat. The advantage that turquoise has over other stones
is the multitude of healing powers that it is capable of. It is said to be
known to ward off disease and strengthen the body. Good fortune is brought who
wear the gem. Legend has it that it guarantees accurate aim if attached to a
gun or bow. Another more interesting legend is that turquoise reveals the
infidelity of a woman by changing color (but we will have to test that one) In
Europe Turquoise rings are gifted as forget-me-nots and even Leah (from
Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice) wins Shylock over by presenting him with a
Turquoise Ring as a pledge of her adoration.
THE CLADDAGH RING
One of the most historically significant features of the turquoise ring goes
back centuries and is said to have originated in a little Irish village. This
special ring is known as the CLADDAGH RING is of deep meaning and is relevant
to all of us even today. The ring is made up of a heart which signifies love,
hands clasping the center heart show friendship and the crown stands for
loyalty. These aspects of the ring are symbolic of love and affection. It has
always been a great choice as a Valentine's Ring and has also been used as a
mothers day ring. But most often it has been traditionally passed down from
mother to daughter as a Wedding Ring. This ring is still popular in Sterling
Silver and Gold and can be made to order.
