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

The beautiful, opaque pair of turquoises offered by The Natural Gemstone Company are precisely 5.35 carats and 5.39 carats, a truly balanced matched set that will appeal to designers and collectors alike. Each stone is an oval shape cabochon with the first measuring 13.94 x 10.00 x 5.03 mm and the second measuring 14.15 x 10.20 x 4.82 mm, showing excellent proportional symmetry for a matched pair. The color is an intense, vibrant blue that reads evenly across each cabochon, and the surface exhibits an excellent polish that produces a soft, satiny luster typical of fine natural turquoise. These stones are opaque and natural, with no enhancement, which preserves the authentic character and feel that connoisseurs seek. Origin is the USA, and the provenance contributes to their desirability, as American turquoise is prized for its stable color and historic significance in fine jewelry. The cabochon cut complements the material by maximizing color and depth, and these stones show the kind of solid, rich tone and smooth finish that make them suitable for a wide range of refined designs.

Because they are so closely matched in weight, size, and hue, this pair is ideal for classic paired settings such as earrings or cufflinks, where symmetry and balance are essential. The slightly rounded cabochon profile and uniform polish make them particularly well suited to bezel settings, which will protect the edges while showcasing the full color field, though skilled designers can also incorporate them into elegant prong settings for a more contemporary look. For a statement ring, these turquoises can be set side by side in a double setting to create a striking visual line, or they can be used as a perfectly paired pair for drop earrings where movement will catch the light across their polished surfaces. Their dimensions and weights make them comfortable for daily wear, while remaining substantial enough to register as luxury pieces. The absence of enhancement means that designers can treat them as stable, authentic materials, and their American origin will add narrative value to a finished piece, appealing to buyers who appreciate provenance and natural character.

Caring for these natural turquoise cabochons is straightforward, and a few simple precautions will ensure they keep their intense color and smooth finish for years. Avoid prolonged exposure to chemical cleaners, perfumes, and cosmetics, and remove jewelry before swimming in chlorinated water or before doing heavy work that could expose the stones to oils or solvents. Clean the stones gently with a soft cloth and mild soap and water, rinsing thoroughly and drying immediately, and avoid ultrasonic and steam cleaning methods which are not recommended for untreated turquoise. For long term storage, keep the pair separated from harder gemstones to prevent scratching, and consider a bezel mount to provide additional protection if the design will be worn frequently.
