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

Turquoise is a gemstone that carries the weight of millennia, a color and a form that have been treasured by civilizations across continents for its connection to sky and water, protection, and beauty. From ancient burial goods to the ceremonial jewelry of desert cultures, turquoise has been used to mark status, to guard the wearer, and to celebrate the natural world. The pair offered here evokes that same timeless appeal, an elegant reminder that some materials resist passing fashions, and that classic color and form remain in quiet authority through changing tastes. These stones are not only visually striking, they are carriers of a long lineage of craftsmanship and reverence, a lineage you can continue by selecting them for a new piece of wearable heritage.

The pair of blue turquoises from The Natural Gemstone Company weighs 5.35 carats and 5.39 carats respectively, a balanced match that will make a harmonious set for earrings, cufflinks, or a matched pair of ring stones. Each is cut as an oval cabochon to emphasize the smooth luminous surface and the inner depth of color. The measurements are 13.94 x 10.00 x 5.03 mm for the 5.35 carat stone, and 14.15 x 10.20 x 4.82 mm for the 5.39 carat stone, dimensions that translate to an elegant presence without ever overwhelming refined settings, and with proportions that sit comfortably against the skin. These examples present an intense color intensity, an opaque body that carries a pure, vivid blue, and an excellent polish that produces a soft reflective glow across each dome. Importantly, these turquoises are natural and untreated, no enhancement, a quality that matters to collectors and traditionalists who prize authenticity and the natural expression of a stone.

When selecting settings for stones with such classic appeal, consider designs that honor continuity and craft, designs that will still feel appropriate decades from now. A bezel setting in warm yellow gold will emphasize the historic pairing of turquoise with precious metal, recalling antique jewelry while protecting the stones from knocks and exposure. A sterling silver setting can bring an artisanal southwestern character, a reference to the long standing use of turquoise in that region of the United States, and yet remain modern and wearable for every day. These cabochons are ideal for matched ear ornaments, for a pair of signet or dress rings, or for a bespoke pendant set that allows both stones to breathe and showcase their matching tones. Because these turquoises are from the USA and unenhanced, they carry a provenance that will be appreciated by those who seek natural origin and responsible sourcing, an important consideration for anyone forming a new collection or commissioning a family heirloom.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we treat each stone as part of a continuing story, and we are pleased to present this paired set that speaks to tradition, to the disciplined eye for proportion, and to the enduring language of color. We can advise on settings that will best protect and display these stones, and on mounting options that will blend classical proportion with contemporary durability. For care, avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals, perfumes, and cosmetic oils, and have settings checked periodically to maintain the secure embrace that a bezel or secure prong will provide. If you are considering these turquoises for a commissioned piece, we welcome your inquiries, and we can provide additional images, discussion of mounting choices, and information about matched stones for companions or future projects. Choosing these turquoises is an invitation to own a small piece of the long human affection for this color and material, a choice that will carry forward style, story, and substance through generations.
