Dainty Tibetan Turquoise Bracelet High Grade order 6mm Teal Tibetan Turquoise Gemstone Bracelet Green Tibetan Turquoise Round Gift Bracelet

*Tibetan Turquoise Beaded Bracelet*

This piece contains high grade, smooth, excellent luster and polish Grade AA 6mm teal Tibetan Turquoise beads strung on elastic stretch cord for increased strength and durability. This particular Turquoise strand set is stabilized, a necessary and accepted method to preserve the Turquoises' natural color and enhance hardness without altering the original Turquoise properties, color, or appearance. No dye or color enhancement has been used for these Turquoise beads. Natural unstabilized Turquoises' vibrant blue colors can fade over time especially when exposed to light, body oil, perfume, detergent and other chemicals, turning into a greenish color with age, so many buyers and collectors will prefer to have stabilized Turquoise. The stone pieces in this bracelet are hand picked to ensure the best quality.

Turquoise is an opaque blue to green mineral that is a hydrated phosphate of copper and aluminum. The color range is incredible and varies from green, greenish blues to sky blue shades. For centuries, Turquoise has been used for jewelry and valuable ornaments and was used by the ancient Egyptians thousands of years ago. The Aztecs mined Turquoise in areas now known as New Mexico, and a significant amount of Turquoise comes from Nevada, Arizona, and California. Turquoise was used as a sacred stone by many Native American tribes. Turquoise is said to have protective and healing properties. Turquoise attracts wealth, success and love. Turquoise strengthens and empowers the mind and body, gathers hope and courage, as well as offering ease and calm to the mind and nerves.

Tibetan Turquoise is mined in the Himilayas and usually comes as blue-green to green in color. The more distinct blues found in American and Persian Turquoise are more rare in Tibetan Turquoise. Turquoise has been part of the people of the Himalayas, Nepalese and Tibetans for thousands of years and is considered for its spiritual powers as well as its beauty. It has been an important religious stone used by the Tibetans since 1000 BC. Turquoise is often used as a token of love by the Himalayan people. Tibetan Turquoise is said to bring happiness and good fortune to its owner if given by a loving hand, and is said to be sympathetic to both the wearer and giver's health. It is very hard to source Tibetan Turquoise today, and some jewelry marketed today claiming to be Tibetan is actually Chinese Turquoise, but still some order vendors and traders have connections to export this natural gemstone from Tibet itself. There are 4 sources of Tibetan Turquoise and they are from the Gangschan Mountains in Western Tibet, another area is in the region between Lhasa and the China-Tibetan border near Chamdo, Draya west of Bathang, and in the mountains of the state of Derge in Eastern Tibet. The finest material comes from the Gagschan Mountains.

Thread preference:
• Stretch floss is made up of multiple strands of stretch material woven together and can provide incredible stretch and recoil, while being less likely to permanently stretch out. It is not as strong as elastic cord, and frequently worn bracelets using stretch floss will generally need to be restrung at least once a year.
• Elastic cord is a transparent, singular, rubbery thread that is stronger than stretch floss but does not have as much stretch and recoil potential, making it more prone to breakage and permanently losing its elasticity when stretched to its limit. Elastic cord offers strength, durability and longevity, while stretch floss provides versatility and pliancy.
• It is recommended to restring bracelets at least every 1-2 years to maintain strength and elasticity.
