Where to buy turquoise 

The best place to buy a turquoise pendant or a raw stone you can use to turn into a turquoise necklace is a gem or rock shop or a jewelry store. This way, you can explore your options in person and can explore the different color combinations of the pieces you like as well as the size and shape of them.

Your jeweler or gemstone store owner will show you various turquoise options you can consider to get the most out of your investment. They can also turn a piece of turquoise into a pendant necklace if you want them to.

How to wear turquoise

Since turquoise doesn't have a natural sheen and is beautiful when placed in sterling silver and white gold settings, you can wear it with winter and cool-type clothing. If you wish to wear a turquoise pendant necklace with warmer-toned clothing and accessories, then look for pendant pieces in turquoise that are fitted in gold, rose gold, or even yellow gold settings.

When choosing a turquoise piece to wear, it's wise to pick just one staple turquoise piece rather than a whole bunch at one time. This way, you can create a focal point for your pieces so they can be showcased beautifully. Your turquoise pendant necklace can be paired with other smaller pieces as an accent, but try to avoid wearing multiple pendants at once so you can get the best effect for what you do wear. Your turquoise pendant necklace can be the main piece for all your regular or workday attire to pull your outfits together nicely.
