Care & Maintenance for Your Silver & Turquoise Jewelry

At Silver Kachina Studio, each piece is handcrafted with care, using authentic turquoise and high-quality .925 sterling silver. With the right care, your jewelry will remain beautiful for generations.

Sterling Silver Care

Sterling silver naturally develops a soft patina over time, which many collectors value. However, if you'd prefer to keep your jewelry bright and polished:

• Store in a dry, airtight container when not in use to reduce tarnishing.
• Avoid exposure to chemicals, lotions, or perfumes.
• Use a silver polishing cloth to gently restore shine.
• Avoid harsh commercial cleaners — these can damage both the silver and turquoise.

Turquoise Care

Turquoise is a natural stone and slightly porous. It deserves gentle care:

• Keep away from water, oils, and household cleaners.
• Store separately to avoid scratches from harder stones or metals.
• Clean only with a dry, soft cloth — never submerge turquoise jewelry.

Daily Wear Tips

• Remove jewelry during heavy work, swimming, or bathing.
• Put jewelry on after applying lotions, perfumes, or hair products.
