Turquoise beads
The color of Turquoise beads varies from sky blue, blue green to yellow, brown and black. It is precisely because of those beautiful, outspoken colors that Turquoise has an enormous appeal to many people. Turquoise beads are widely used today for contemporary jewelry. Think, for example, of the trendy Ibiza style jewelry. Nevertheless, the Turquoise beads are certainly not only used in trendy jewelry. Combined with, for example, red coral and Tibetan silver, they get a decent look again.
Edit / stabilize or not
Turquoise can be found in a number of places in the world. For example in Arizona and China. Here you will find the real deep turquoise color. Because the stone is becoming increasingly rare, the Turquoise is also becoming more and more precious. In addition, only 3 to 5% of all Turquoise is suitable for beading without processing. So the cream of the crop. And that comes with a hefty price tag. The raw Turquoise beads are quite soft and sometimes porous. As a result, unprocessed Turquoise beads break easily and (skin) fats and the like are absorbed into them. This discolors the Turquoise and the beads slowly darken. Processed Turquoise beads have these drawbacks much less. In addition, the processed beads are much more attractively priced! So because of the price and the hardness and durability, more and more people are opting for processed or stabilized Turquoise beads.
Imitation or not
There is often some confusion about real Turquoise beads, because there are (beautiful!) imitations. The imitation beads are often blue/greenish in color and much cheaper and less valuable. Most imitations of Turquoise beads are made from Magnesite and Howlite. Both natural stones that are colored. In our webshop you will find many types of real Turquoise beads. But we also have Howlite beads in the turquoise color. The distinction is clear. We simply call the real Turquoise beads by the Dutch written name Turquoise. The Howlite beads with a turquoise color can be found in the Howlite section.
