Having worked with a jewelry company for nine years now, I am now in a position to give my younger sister jewelry advice. On her recent birthday, I gave her a turquoise bracelet. Turquoise has an old world charm to it. However at the same time, it is also easily fashionable into modern and contemporary designs. Since my sister is fond of bracelets and necklace, that turquoise bracelet was the perfect choice.

When I gave her the bracelet, I had to tell her all about turquoise. She did not know much about jewelry. One thing I told her is that turquoise was a mineral and often placed with other precious stones. I guess I can’t blame her for not being familiar with turquoise jewelry ‘coz when we were growing up the only jewelry we knew and saw were diamonds and pearls.
