Like all turquoise on the market, this turquoise is stabilized to preserve the color and to protect the stone. Unlike much turquoise on the market, however, this turquoise is not dyed. The Bali silver beads are solid silver, and the clasp is solid sterling.

You can't go wrong if you buy turquoise. It's one of history's most popular gemstones, and is still very much in fashion today.This necklace combines Chinese turquoise from the Hubei Province with Bali silver and solid sterling tubes. The chain is also solid sterling and the necklace closes with a sterling lobster clasp. Like all turquoise on the market, this turquoise is stabilized to preserve the color and to protect the stone. Some Chinese turquoise is color enhanced. I am unsure whether this is or not. If you want turquoise that is definitely not enhanced, see the Mexican turquoise necklace just below.

SIDEBAR: BALI SILVERBali silver is not sterling silver. Sterling silver is 92.5% silver, and 7.5% something else (usually copper). Bali silver is very close to pure silver, being over 99% silver.
And yes, Bali silver is made in Bali. |
