Purple Turquoise Jewelry in Sterling Silver
Purple turquoise jewelry features rare color variations found in select American deposits. The lavender and violet tones occur when turquoise forms alongside phosphate minerals like apatite, creating distinctive purple-gray coloring instead of traditional blue-green. Our collection pairs these uncommon stones with .925 sterling silver settings. Each piece ships free within the US, backed by our nearly two decades of sourcing natural gemstones direct from miners and artisans.

What Makes Purple Turquoise Different From Blue Varieties
True purple turquoise comes from a handful of locations, with the most recognized material originating from Nevada's Royston and Carico Lake mines. Arizona's Sleeping Beauty mine has also produced lavender specimens, though that deposit closed in 2012. The purple coloring results from trace minerals present during formation, particularly when copper content is lower than in blue varieties. Purple turquoise rates 5-6 on the Mohs hardness scale, similar to its blue counterpart. Our purple turquoise rings, pendants, earrings, and bracelets showcase the natural matrix patterns that make each stone distinct. The host rock creates web-like veining in brown, black, or golden tones against the purple base. We set these stones in solid .925 sterling silver, never plated metals.
