As December approaches, it's time to celebrate the final month of the year with a beautiful birthstone that embodies the serene beauty of winter landscapes. Turquoise, the birthstone for December, is a gem that has captured hearts for centuries with its striking color and rich history. In this blog post, we'll explore the fascinating world of turquoise and how it can make the perfect gift for December birthdays.


A Glimpse into Turquoise

Turquoise is renowned for its distinctive blue-green hue, reminiscent of the clear waters of tropical paradises. This gemstone has a history dating back thousands of years, with origins in ancient civilizations like the Egyptians, Persians, and Native Americans. Its name, "turquoise," comes from the French term "pierre turquoise," which means "Turkish stone." This reflects the early belief that the gem was first brought to Europe from Turkey.


The Color of Tranquility

Turquoise is often associated with tranquility and well-being. Its calming blue and green tones symbolize serenity and balance, making it an ideal choice for jewelry. It is believed to have protective and healing properties, bringing positivity and harmony to the wearer's life. This makes turquoise jewelry not only a beautiful accessory but also a meaningful gift.


Versatility in Jewelry

Turquoise can be incorporated into various jewelry designs, from rings and necklaces to earrings and bracelets. Its vivid color complements a wide range of metals, including silver, gold, and platinum. Whether you prefer a delicate, minimalist piece or a bold statement, there's a turquoise jewelry option to suit every style.

Cory has been so wonderful to work with. He helped my husband design my engagement ring, as well as wedding band, and they are absolutely beautiful. We highly recommend Cory and J&M Jewelry, to anyone!

Cory is hands down the best jeweler I’ve ever worked with. He’s helped me with everything from finding the a new gold chain for an old pendant to designing a completely custom ring. Whether I come in with a clear vision or just a vague idea, he helps me narrow it down and find exactly what works within my budget. He listens to my wants and there is never any pressure, just honest guidance and expertise. I’ve recommended J&M to so many friends because it’s rare to find a place that offers such high quality pieces while also having the ability to customize something to be exactly what you’re looking for. The craftsmanship, service, and overall experience are unmatched.
