Every piece that leaves our shop is made to last. If something fails due to a defect in materials or workmanship, we'll take care of you.

Every piece ships within 1–3 business days from Columbia, Tennessee. You'll receive tracking by email once your order is on its way. 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.

Lone Mountain Turquoise comes out of Esmeralda County, Nevada, near Tonopah. Lee Hand claimed the ground in 1920 and called it the Blue Jay Mining Lode — then renamed it Lone Mountain once he realized how many other Blue Jays were already on the books. Seven years later Bert Kopenhaver, leasing the property from Hand, broke into the spiderweb material about forty feet down. That is what the mine has been known for ever since. The stone runs a clear blue to a deep blue with black or golden spiderweb laced tight across the surface, and almost no green in it. It takes a hard polish — up to 7 on the Mohs scale — and it holds its color better than nearly any turquoise mined in this country. Pieces set in the 1930s are still as blue as the day they left the bench. Production today is a trickle, so what does surface is worth taking seriously.
