Hi, I'm Erin, and I'm a fashion stylist. You don't have to live in the southwest to appreciate the amazing things turquoise jewelry has to offer. It is versatile, classic, colorful and stunning when worn the right way. Our model Remy is wearing a gorgeous turquoise statement necklace with a white strapless summery dress. I wanted to recreate one of my favorite turquoise jewelry looks that Eva Mendez at the Globes in 2009, but on a much smaller scale. White is the perfect backdrop for any of your turquoise accessories. And there is everything from rings to bracelets to necklaces to earrings. You can also try a black dress with your turquoise jewels. You can literally wear turquoise with just about anything, from office suits to evening wear. Do not limit yourself or these precious stones. When opting for a stand out piece like the necklace our model is wearing, I would suggest not wearing any additional turquoise. If you want to go smaller, you can add one extra accessory. For example, if you opt for a pair of turquoise earrings you can pair them with a bracelet. Piling it on is cool in advertisements, but in most cases doesn't really work in real life. Some other great features, it's valuable if it's the real deal, the color is complementary with just about every skin tone and the gems look fabulous on women of all ages.
