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

This pair of natural turquoise cabochons from The Natural Gemstone Company presents a rare combination of vibrant color, clean polish, and authentic provenance. The stones weigh 2.39 carats and 2.49 carats respectively, they are oval in shape, they measure 9.92 x 7.88 x 4.01 millimeters and 10.03 x 8.09 x 3.92 millimeters, they are cabochon cut, and they are opaque with a vivid color intensity and an excellent polish. There has been no enhancement to these gems, and their origin is the USA. These essential facts define the pair as natural, untreated American turquoise, suitable for collectors and designers who seek authenticity and a pure, unaltered material for fine jewelry.

Visually these turquoise cabochons display a striking sky to robin egg blue that is evenly saturated across each surface, the finish is smooth and glasslike, and the cabochon domes provide a gentle play of light that enhances the depth of color. Because they are closely matched in hue, tone, and polish, they make an ideal pair for matched jewelry, such as a set of stud earrings, a balanced pendant and ring combination, or accent stones in a custom bracelet design. The slight variation in dimensions and carat weight is typical for natural paired stones, and this variation allows a jeweler to place the slightly larger stone in a focal position if desired, while maintaining overall symmetry and harmony between the two pieces.

For design guidance these stones work beautifully in both cool and warm metal palettes, they pair exceptionally well with sterling silver for a classic southwestern aesthetic, and they also create a contemporary contrast when set in white gold or a warm, soft glow when set in yellow or rose gold. Their cabochon cut makes them durable for everyday wear when properly mounted, since cabochons lack sharp facets and tend to resist chipping to a greater degree than faceted stones. Care recommendations are straightforward, do not expose these turquoises to household chemicals, do not use steam cleaning or ultrasonic cleaners, clean gently with a soft cloth and mild soap and water if needed, avoid prolonged soaking especially in chlorinated water, and store separately from harder gemstones to prevent scratches. Proper bezel or prong settings will protect the girdles and maintain the stone surfaces for years, and a jeweler experienced with turquoise will be able to set these stones to both highlight their color and secure them for regular wear.
