Truly Turned On By Turquoise Jewelry: Ralph Lauren Americana Collection


We really, really LOVE turquoise----on earrings, bracelets, necklaces, belts, and everything else, in between. And no one does turquoise accents better than Ralph Lauren.

Of course, turquoise is dreamy on those long, hot summer days, so if you can add a pretty piece to your style this season, then you're on your way.

We happen to get weak in the knees for Ralph Lauren's Americana fashion. We like the whole concept----the western feel and the Native American flair. And this time, the master, himself, has brought back the Western wear he does so beautifully, with accents on bold belt buckles, wide braided leather belts, fringe, ruffles, and wooden bangle bracelets. He's softened the look with lots of lace and creamy blouses with puffed sleeves, and his signature turquoise pieces.

The ones we show here in the photos, are from Ralph Lauren's Americana collection. These are classic beauties, timeless jewelry that you can wear, year after year:

1. Zuni Three Tier Turquoise Chandelier Earrings
$3,000

2. Dishta Silver and Turquoise Cuff
$1,295.

All you need is a simple, white tee/blouse/shirt and a gorgeous piece of turquoise to make a fashion statement.

Granted, Ralph Lauren turquoise jewelry is not cheap, but we like to think of it, as a priceless investment.


Of course, you don't just have to buy Ralph Lauren's signature turquoise designs. But you can learn from this fashion icon and imitate the Ralph Lauren look.
