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

Carico Lake Turquoise comes from Lander County, Nevada, and is one of the more diverse stones in American turquoise. Its color ranges widely — from warm greens and blue-greens to deeper blues — often with rich matrix running through it. That variety is part of what makes it interesting; no two pieces read the same. The Carico Lake mine has never been a high-volume producer, which makes the stone genuinely rare. What does come out of the ground tends to go fast, and pieces set with Carico Lake are among the most sought-after by collectors who know what they're looking at.
