What Material Should I Select For My Pin Or Brooch?

  • Turquoise: Turquoise has a bright aqua color and is a precious gemstone which can be polished to give a shiny look to your pin. Turquoise also has more meaning in Native American jewelry as it is believed to have a number of spiritual properties.

Sterling silver is a strong material and does not tarnish easily. It is also ideal for jewelry like a pin as it can be easily shined if it loses its shine over time.
