Wear turquoise for protection, power, luck, friendship, and communication. Turquoise has a long rich history in many cultures around the world, and was one the first gemstones to be mined and used for talismans and decorative objects and jewelry. Use it for inner and outer strength, protection of body and energy, and for inner and outer beauty. Use it to stimulate the throat chakra to facilitate verbal expression.
Individuality should be celebrated! Your natural gemstones are naturally, and perfectly imperfect: Unevenness in color or texture or finish in gemstones is normal. Expect to see some internal inclusions, dots, or flecks, and slight variations in size or color. We strive to provide an accurate description of our jewelry, but variations from the piece photographed can occur, and expect to see a slight difference in color from your device or monitor from the real thing.
Piece has a 14kt gold layer over 925 sterling silver core. Care should be taken when cleaning gold over silver jewelry by not rubbing excessively, to protect the longevity of the gold surface. Clean with warm soapy water, or gold cleaner, and rinse well. Pat dry with soft cloth. Prevention of tarnish is best for plated jewelry, so be sure to remove before bed, sports, swimming, or applying perfumes or lotions. Store in an airtight container or jewelry box.
If you want your jewelry to last, remember the old saying: “Jewelry should be the last thing you put on, and the first thing you remove”.
Keep it clean by keeping it away from chemicals, lotions, perfumes, excessive humidity, and protect from heavy, hard wearing activities such as sports, heavy work, or vigorous exercise. The main culprits that shorten the life of your jewelry are: never taking it off, wearing it while sleeping, wearing it in hot tubs and pools, and while playing sports. Store in an airtight container such as jewelry box or zip lock baggie while not wearing. When storing long term, make sure to clean and dry thoroughly before storing.
GEMSTONE CARE: Turquoise should be cleaned with warm soapy water. It is quite porous, so should be kept from colored jewelry cleaners, and harsh cleaners, as it could soak in coloring and chemicals and change color over time. Care should be taken to keep from chipping this softer gemstone, by removing before working or playing hard.
