How Turquoise Jewellery Works With Your Collection

Turquoise pairs with so many other pieces from the Francesca collection. A turquoise pendant layered with a gold necklace brings your look into the modern age, while turquoise studs set alongside Pearl Jewellery or a pearl necklace create a contrast that’s both soft and romantic.

Turquoise drop earrings may be styled alongside rose gold drop earrings or silver drop earrings for a mix of colour and texture. Brides and milestone celebrants can also layer turquoise pendants with pearl choker necklaces to create a look that’s layered and uniquely you.
