First and foremost, a turquoise bib necklace is a necklace that is made of stones called turquoise.

Found naturally occurring in the Southwest United States, Native Americans have mined for turquoise and crafted it into necklaces for centuries, even thousands of years.
A turquoise bib necklace is a necklace that is much wider in the front than a typical necklace, giving it the appearance of a bib. Turquoise necklaces is one of the more common types of necklaces found in Native American jewelry, largely because of its beauty and popularity. The style has been worn by celebrities and models around the world and is considered very fashionable.
The advantage of choosing a turquoise bib necklace is that your necklace will have a larger surface area for a design. Thus, the necklace may not only have a greater amount of turquoise on the necklace but also unique and beautiful patterns. Often, other materials such as silver or other precious stones are combined and inlaid in a turquoise bib necklace to create traditional, eye-catching designs.

There is no denying that these necklaces are a marvelous fashion statement. Often considered a statement piece, your turquoise bib necklace should be the focus of your outfit. Because its amount of turquoise, its patterns, and its size will be so eye-catching, you should plan your ensemble around your necklace.
Let your turquoise bib necklace take center stage. You may likely find it looks better if you keep the rest of your jewelry (such as earrings, bracelets, and rings) more simple or minimalist, in order to keep the focus of attention on your necklace.

As for colors, your necklace will look especially beautiful against a more neutral palette such as black, white, or cream. Avoid busy patterns, as they may distract from the ornate splendor of your necklace.
