Some stones find you, not the other way around. Ever since I was young, I've felt irresistibly drawn to turquoise—that mystical, sky-blue to green-glowing gemstone that feels like a breeze of freedom, desert dust, and ancient wisdom. North American turquoise, in particular, strikes a deep chord: raw, full of character, and steeped in history. It's as if each stone whispers a story of feminine power, protection, and connection to the earth.
Turquoise is anything but ordinary. No two stones are alike—the color, the veins, the texture: each one is a unique work of nature's art. Some have that bright, fresh blue like the sky above a pristine mountain landscape. Others lean toward a warm green with veins like river currents. In the vintage jewelry I select, I always look for that special character. For stones with soul. And every year, as soon as the sun gives my skin a golden glow, I feel it again: this is turquoise season. Then I pull out my favorite turquoise necklaces, rings, and earrings—because nothing makes this stone shine like sun-kissed skin. It's the perfect summer pairing: powerful, feminine, and a touch wild.
The power of turquoise
Turquoise isn't just a thing of beauty—it's also known as a protective stone. For centuries, it was worn as a talisman against negativity, a beacon of balance and intuitive strength. Women from diverse cultures relied on its energy. And honestly? Sometimes it feels as if it still whispers, "Stay true to yourself, shine your light."
In many of my vintage rings, earrings, and necklaces, you'll find turquoise in its purest form: lovingly worn, lightly distressed, and more beautiful than ever. They bring a touch of soul to your style. Not designed to blend in—but to stand out with understated elegance.
