Questions? Reach us at info@thecommon.co.

We're among those who appreciate the character natural wear puts on a piece. That said, a few simple measures will help maintain the basic integrity of your jewelry.

  • Keep it dry. Avoid submerging your pieces underwater — this helps prevent discoloration of both the stones and the silver.
  • Go easy on cuffs. Avoid bending cuffs too often, as repeated flexing wears down the silver and can cause cracking or breakage. Gently molding a cuff to your wrist for the initial fit is perfectly fine.
  • Polish as needed. Oxidation occurs naturally to every piece left out in the open. A simple dry clean with a polishing cloth — or a soft handkerchief hanging around — should do the trick.

Stone Story

Damele comes out of Lander County, Nevada, from a small mine on the Damele family's Dry Creek Ranch outside Austin. Benny Damele found it around 1973. Clyde Wright worked the claim for about eighteen years before selling it to Tony Cotner, and it has always been a small operation, never worked at any scale. It is usually sold as turquoise, but it isn't. The mine is known for variscite and faustite, phosphate minerals related to turquoise but not the same stone. The color runs lime and mint through yellow-green, laced with a black to brown spiderweb matrix. Little new material comes out of the ground now, and most of the spiderweb stone in the trade was cut from older rough, so a good Damele piece is worth paying attention to.
