Caring for Your Handmade Jewelry

Your Lonesome Silver jewelry is crafted with authentic sterling silver and genuine turquoise, each piece made to last and become a timeless part of your personal story. To keep your jewelry looking its best, here are some simple care tips that will preserve the beauty and quality of each piece for years to come:

Cleaning Your Jewelry:

Gently clean your pieces with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove dirt, oils, and fingerprints. Avoid using harsh chemicals, as they can damage the finish and stones.

For silver jewelry, occasionally polish with a silver cloth or a mild silver cleaner to maintain its shine. Be sure to follow the product instructions carefully.

Turquoise and Natural Changes:

As with any natural gemstone, turquoise will change over time—this is completely normal and part of its natural beauty. The color of turquoise may deepen, lighten, or even develop a slight patina as it interacts with your body’s natural oils, the environment, and the air.

The patina or color changes are natural and organic, adding depth and character to each piece. Over time, these subtle transformations tell the story of your jewelry—just like you, it grows and evolves, becoming more personal and unique as you wear it.

To maintain your turquoise’s beauty, avoid exposure to harsh chemicals, and remove jewelry when engaging in activities that may cause it to come into contact with lotions, perfumes, or chlorine, as these can speed up the natural color changes.

Storage Tips:

Keep your jewelry in a cool, dry place, away from humidity or extreme heat, as these can affect both the silver and the stones.

Avoid storing jewelry with other pieces that may scratch or damage it.

General Care:

Remove your jewelry when engaging in activities that may expose it to harsh chemicals, such as swimming in chlorinated pools, using cleaning products, or applying lotions/perfumes.

Be mindful of extreme impacts—though your jewelry is made with durability in mind, it’s always a good idea to take it off when doing physically demanding tasks.
