10.23 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Cabochon Turquoise Pair from USA

This exquisite matching pair of natural turquoise cabochons from The Natural Gemstone Company combines classic beauty with collector grade integrity, offering an immediate focal point for refined jewelry designs. The two stones weigh 5.09 carats and 5.14 carats respectively, and both present a harmonious oval silhouette that reads as both timeless and wearable. Their exact dimensions are 14.18 x 10.11 x 5.38 mm, and 14.16 x 10.15 x 5.57 mm, which makes them exceptionally well matched for paired settings such as earrings or side by side in a pendant or cuff. The cabochon cut enhances the smooth domed surface, allowing the intense blue color to show saturation and depth without distraction. These turquoises are opaque, which is characteristic of many high quality natural specimens, and they display an intense color intensity combined with an excellent polish that produces lively reflections on the domed surface while maintaining the soft, velvety appearance collectors prize. Importantly, there is no enhancement, so you are investing in naturally beautiful material with verified origin from the USA, a provenance that adds desirability for those who value traceable and responsibly sourced gemstones.

For designers and buyers looking to create a standout piece, this matched pair offers flexibility and impact. The even size and close weight pairing make them ideal for symmetrical stud earrings mounted in a low bezel for protection, or as a matching pair flanking a central stone in a three stone pendant or ring. Their generous table and domed profile also work very well as the focal elements in artisan rings where the stone sits slightly proud of the setting to showcase the color, or as inlay elements in solid metal work where the turquoise can be flush set for a sleek, modern look. Metals that enhance the beauty of blue turquoise include warm tones such as sterling silver and 14 carat or 18 carat yellow gold, each providing a different mood, while rose gold can impart a contemporary contrast that highlights the sky blue saturation. Because these stones are cabochon cut, they lend themselves to settings that emphasize secure bezel work or closed back frames, which help protect the edges and preserve the polished dome, and make for comfortable everyday wear. If you prefer a more elaborate design, consider pairing the turquoises with small accent diamonds or contrasting deep blue sapphires to create a luxurious palette where the turquoise remains the star.

Caring for and maintaining the vibrancy of natural turquoise is straightforward, and I am happy to share best practices so your purchase from The Natural Gemstone Company will remain beautiful for generations. Turquoise is porous by nature, so avoid exposure to household chemicals, perfumes, oils, and prolonged water immersion, and never use steam or ultrasonic cleaners. Clean the stones gently with a soft, dry cloth or with mild soap and lukewarm water applied sparingly, then dry immediately and store separately to prevent scratches. For daily wear, protective bezel settings and low profiles will reduce the risk of impact or abrasion. The fact that these turquoises are untreated and of United States origin enhances both their aesthetic and their long term value, and we can provide additional documentation or assist with independent appraisal upon request. If you would like assistance visualizing settings, sourcing matching metals, or arranging bespoke design work, please contact The Natural Gemstone Company and our team will guide you through options, lead times, and secure shipping. We pride ourselves on pairing quality gemstones with attentive service, and we look forward to helping you create a piece that celebrates the serene blue glow of these exceptional turquoises.
