11th - Turquoise

Turquoise comes in a range of shades from green, greenish-blue to light and deeper blue. Throughout history, it has been used as an adornment and in jewellery making. Though it is now often associated with the southwestern U.S., it continues to be popular worldwide. Turquoise is particularly striking when paired with sterling silver and can be used as the main focus of a piece or as accents. For a modern look, turquoise can be paired with leather in bracelets and necklaces, making it a versatile choice for both men and women.
