Jewelry Care
If you take proper care of your pieces, they should last a lifetime. Please try not wear them while swimming, Jacuzzi-ing or bathing.
Please do not use harsh chemical cleaners. A lot of my pieces have patina and some jewelry cleaners can easily remove that patina. On most of my personal pieces I clean with a quick scrub with toothbrush and dish soap. Then I polish with a polishing cloth. I include a piece of a polishing pad with each purchase. That should shine up your piece pretty nicely.
Turquoise is such a soft stone. It can be easily dented and chipped when knocked around too much. Extreme temperatures can affect the stones as well. Just be mindful. As a musician I have ruined several beautiful turquoise bracelets while playing tambourine of all things!
If you have purchased a piece of mine and for whatever reason need me to shine it up for you, email me. I can probably do that for you, or at least walk you through how to do it yourself.
If for any reason the piece is not holding up to your normal daily wear, please contact me at rockandcrow@yahoo.com and I will try to remedy the situation.
