There are so many different types of turquoise currently on the market; any collector surely has a favorite kind. For some, it is the Bisbee gemstone from the Lavender Pit copper mine. Others have fallen in love with the robin blue of Persian turquoise. Still others value Arizona’s Sleeping Beauty gemstone that has been a favorite for Zuni Pueblo jewelry makers.
At Peter Suchy, we commit to bringing you a wide variety of vintage turquoise jewelry. Who knows, you might find yourself crossing design and stone origination lines because of the striking craftsmanship displayed in one artisan’s piece. Are you ready to take a closer look?
Robin’s Egg Blue Turquoise Dangle Earrings
Hugged tightly by settings made of 14k solid white gold, these dangle earrings feature two turquoise ovals measuring 20mm by 12mm. The front is adorned with a whimsical design that showcases 23 round full-cut diamonds weighing in at .15cts. These earrings are made for pierced ears.
Carved Inca Turquoise Face Pendant
This pendant is held in place with an 18k solid yellow gold clasp. Weighing about 2.9grams, the GIA-certified turquoise is of natural color with no enhancements. The carving is clearly visible. Wear this pendant when Bohemian chic is your style of choice.
Art Nouveau Turquoise Double Swan Pendant with Chain
This Art Nouveau piece relies on 14k solid yellow gold for the setting material. The craftsmanship of the double swan design exemplifies the style of the Art Nouveau. The turquoise showcases variegated blue and brown colorations. GIA certified to be natural, it measures 10.5mm by 6.25mm. The Unio freshwater pearl exemplifies the baroque shape and provides a visual counterpoint to the swans. Two old-mine-cut diamonds weighing .06cts add just a bit of sparkle at the right places. The hand-made rose gold chain is 18.5 inches long. If you only buy one Art Nouveau piece, make it this one.
Art Deco Pink Gold Ring with Turquoise
The setting for this ring is made of 14k pink gold. The pink hue is quite pronounced, which creates a striking counterpoint to the bright blue of the gemstone. There is just a hint at black veining at one portion of the stone. The turquoise measures 21.2mm by 15.8mm. This ring is a showstopper.
Italian Persian Turquoise Bracelet with Gold and Ruby
Showcasing the famed Persian turquoise, this 1945 Italian bracelet consists of 18k yellow gold hinged links. White gold is found along the connecting links. A total of 64 untreated Persian turquoises make up the lion’s share of gemstones. Another 32 untreated rubies accentuate the blue color. This eye-catching piece looks marvelous on the wrist.
