Chic and Timeless: Turquoise Jewelry Picks for Women Over 50

Turquoise jewelry is having a big moment, but honestly, it never went out of style. It’s one of those pieces that adds just the right pop of color to any outfit. I remember a little bear claw ring with turquoise stones that I had in my teens. Imagine my delight the other day when I found that ring in my vintage jewelry chest. I had completely forgotten about it, but seeing it filled my heart with joy.

So, if you’re going for a little Southwest flair or just want to elevate your wardrobe with something classic, turquoise delivers. I’m sharing some turquoise jewelry picks for women over 50 in lots of price points. Some are authentic turquoise, and others are just turquoise colored. It really just depends on how much of an investment you want.

What’s The Difference Between Turquoise and Turquoise-Colored Jewelry?

The difference between real turquoise jewelry and turquoise-colored jewelry comes down to the material and value:

Real Turquoise Jewelry

• Made from genuine turquoise stone, a natural mineral.
• Colors range from sky blue to greenish-blue, often with natural veins called matrix.
• Each piece is unique due to natural variations.
• More valuable and often more expensive.
• Cool to the touch, with some weight to it.
• It can be stabilized (treated to make it more durable), but it’s still real turquoise.

Turquoise-Colored Jewelry

• Made from plastic, resin, dyed howlite, or glass, not actual turquoise.
• Imitates the look but not the composition of real turquoise.
• Usually mass-produced and inexpensive.
• Lighter in weight, sometimes overly bright or uniform in color.
• Often labeled as “turquoise color” or “simulated turquoise.”

I love it when jewelry gives options! I am wearing TWO of the necklaces from the Turquoise Charm Necklace. It lets you switch up the charm placement and wear it in different ways. The mix of turquoise and metallics gives it major flair.

Adding a small pop of color is a great way to have fun with a neutral outfit. The faux turquoise Statement Necklace and Earrings are statement pieces that elevate any outfit. I kept my handbag neutral so that the turquoise pieces were the star of the show.
