Notes from the bench side of Santa Fe—stone guides, styling ideas, and maker spotlights.

Turquoise is meant to be worn. It’s part of everyday life—not something that lives in a box. That said, it is a natural stone, and a few simple habits will help your pieces age beautifully.
No fuss. No special equipment. Just awareness.
If you remember nothing else, remember these:
No ultrasonic cleaners—ever
Avoid harsh chemicals (perfume, hairspray, cleaning products)
Don’t soak turquoise, especially in hot water
Turquoise is porous. Liquids and chemicals can dull the surface or affect the stone over time.

These small habits make a big difference:
Wipe your piece after wearing with a soft cloth
Store it dry, away from humidity
Take it off when doing dishes, cleaning, swimming, or heavy work
Think of it the same way you’d treat a favorite leather bag or pair of boots—regular wear, thoughtful care.

Sterling silver naturally tarnishes over time. That’s normal—and expected.
Most of the time, a quick wipe with a soft cloth is all it takes to bring the shine back. No aggressive polishing needed.
If you’d like, I can include a simple care card with your order so you don’t have to remember any of this.
