Turquoise, a gemstone that's been treasured around the world for centuries, is taking over the high jewelry hemisphere in a striking new way. Grand designs that display the best of the stone's natural qualities and beautiful imperfections, paired with other gems or magnificent metals like gold and silver, allow for the unique gem to shine.

Designers and jewelry houses like David Webb and Van Cleef & Arpels are bringing the stone to the forefront of their prized pieces, and others are following suit. Everything from earrings to statement necklaces to rings are billowing over with the incredible aqua-hued stone, and collectors are taking note.

Beyond its beauty, turquoise has long been considered a lucky gem for its ability to reportedly reflect the wearer's health and even possess healing powers. It's also thought to be an auspicious stone for those with December birthdays since it's the month's official birthstone.

Whether you wear it for its metaphysical qualities or just love the gemstone's unique look, today's turquoise jewelry pieces are certainly conversation-starters. Inspired by natural beauty, these pieces are the perfect gateway into the world of bespoke jewels. Below, the best turquoise jewelry to wear now.
