Turquoise Gold Jewelry by Durango Silver Company

Turquoise Gold Jewelry

Turquoise Gold Jewelry is one of the oldest forms of jewelry on earth. The early Egyptians and other ancient cultures made a large share of their jewelry from Turquoise and Gold. Turquoise was one of the first stones known to man kind and used in personal adornment. Examples of this Vintage Turquoise Jewelry can be seen in the Cairo Museum, Smithsonian Museum and other wonderful museums and national parks around the world. Of coarse these ancients made silver and turquoise jewelry, but in those times it was mainly people in power, the elite that wore jewelry and they loved gold.

Turquoise Gold Jewelry by Durango Silver Company

Turquoise Gold Jewelry is beautiful and unusual. In general Turquoise has been associated with Sterling Silver in the United States in the past with little set in Gold, however, Turquoise set in Gold is and has been standard in most other places on earth. Durango Silver Company has been making Turquoise Gold Jewelry since the 1970's. We even use natural Colorado Gold Nuggets in some of our Turquoise Gold Jewelry. As of late we have been selling more and more gold jewelry along with our silver jewelry. With the decline of the USA dollar in worldwide trading demand for gold and silver is way up and if you are going to invest, why not invest in something you can wear and enjoy instead of something you hide away in your vault or bank.

Below are some examples of Turquoise Gold Jewelry and descriptions of them:

Gold Turquoise Jewelry Ring with Bisbee Turquoise

The handmade 14k gold and natural Bisbee Turquoise Pendant to the left displays beauty in simplicity. The rare American Turquoise has been cut in a modern shape and set in a simplistic and current style, which will never go out of style. When most craftsmen or handmade jewelers make Turquoise Gold Jewelry they use their very best Turquoise cabochons or inlay their best stones. This is not always true with mass produced or "Price Point" jewelry, which is 95% of the jewelry made today and available on the open market from companys such as Overstock.com, Zales, Jared's and the like.
