Proper Care of Southwest Jewelry


Silver and Turquoise Jewelry



- Sterling silver is used in your fine Southwestern jewelry. Silver will tarnish and may be maintained with a jeweler's polishing cloth. Do not use chemical or abrasive cleaners.

- Turquoise is a fairly hard stone, but is brittle and can be broken. Avoid crushing or striking your jewelry. Dealers will not warranty stones from breakage. Be cautious and you will have no problems.

- Turquoise will in time absorb skin oils, dirt, soap, and chemicals. Please avoid contact with these.

- Immersing inlaid stones and shells into any liquid will weaken or dissolve the adhesive behind them and loosen the stones.

- You can avoid problems with bracelets by sliding on the side of your wrist. Avoid bending it back and forth as this may break the bracelet and dislodge the stones.

- Exercise a certain amount of care and your jewelry will give you years of enjoyment and pleasure.
