I have a turquoise necklace that was my aunts, mother in-law. She had received it from a a friend who bought it in New Mexico im guessing 25 years ago (give or take). The turquoise is disc shaped. The closure is not the typical clasp or claw it is the kind that you have to twist together. I heard that some turquoise has a lot of value…if anyone knows how I could find out the worth I would appreciate it!
It would need to be evaluated by a professional appraiser. Turquoise varies tremendously in value. One thing that will affect its value is it’s provenance – who made it, when did they make it, when did it come into your possession and what are the other stones (if any) and what is the metal that binds it all together.
Some turquoise jewelry can be worth quite a bit – say, thousands of dollars – but most of it is worth a few hundred at best.

I have a ver pretty silver and turquoise necklace that was given to me 35 years ago. I’ve never worn it because it was just not my style. I’ve just recently thought about selling it on eBay. Do I carry it to a jewerler to see what the value could be? The silver has never turned black, could it be zinc? It’s still shiney and the large turquoise stone is very pretty a nd hasn’t turned.
Look in your local yellow pages for jewelry dealers, and specifically look for southwest as specialty. Then call and ask if they appraise SW turquoise and silver jewelry. Ask what they charge for an appraisal. Set an appointment and go. You could sell it on eBay or in one of your local newspaper want ads. Don’t let the person come to your home to see it; make an appointment somewhere you know someone and are safe if you sell it anywhere but eBay. People coming to your home could later rob you, so be careful.
