🧼 Care Instructions

Why these precautions? Turquoise is a relatively porous stone (5-6 on the Mohs hardness scale) and can be affected by chemicals, oils, and moisture. With proper care, your necklace will remain beautiful for years to come. Natural patina that develops over time is normal and adds to the stone's authentic character.
