Why is it so hard to find a turquoise cocktail ring that looks more like the actual gemstone instead of the mineral. I refuse to take my mind back too far to Geology 1101 in college, mostly because I don't feel like falling asleep mid-type, but there are turquoise gems that are more like blue crystal and turquoise stones that are opaque and usually associated with Native American and tribal pieces. Although I love a good opaque turquoise piece of jewelry, recently I've been wanting to find a turquoise gem cocktail ring. I didn't think it would've been such a challenge to find, but it was! I was able to scrap up a couple (real and faux) and an opaque one that has the facet of crystal one. A. Judith Ripka Turquoise Cushion Ring, $450, Neiman Marcus B.
