Jewelry Care Guide

Each piece of Legendary Patania Jewelry is crafted with care, tradition, and an enduring respect for the natural materials we use. Our pieces are made with sterling silver and carefully selected natural stones, including genuine turquoise, coral, and other high-quality gemstones. These materials are beautiful but delicate, and proper care is essential.

To ensure your jewelry lasts for generations, we recommend the following care practices:

Avoid Harsh Conditions

Do not wear your jewelry while swimming, showering, or exercising.

Avoid exposure to lotions, perfumes, household cleaners, chlorine, and other harsh chemicals, as they can damage both the silver and the stones.

Remove jewelry before applying skincare products or cleaning.

Natural Patina & Polishing

Over time, sterling silver naturally develops a patina — a soft darkening that we believe becomes a meaningful part of the piece’s story and character.

If you prefer to keep your silver bright and polished, we recommend using a jewelry polishing cloth once a week to once a month, depending on the humidity of your environment.

Proper Storage

Always store your jewelry in a dry, safe place when not in use.

Keep pieces separate from leather, as certain tanning agents in leather can cause tarnishing.

Store in a soft cloth pouch or a lined jewelry box to avoid scratching and moisture buildup.

Deep Cleaning Instructions

For a deeper clean, especially in areas where dust and skin oils build up over time:

For silver jewelry with turquoise or other stones (excluding coral):

Mix warm water with a small amount of sudsy ammonia (available at most pharmacies).
Soak the piece for 10 minutes. This helps dissolve dirt and oils without harming the stones.
Rinse thoroughly with clean water and pat dry on a soft towel. Allow to air dry completely before storing.

Important:

This method is not recommended for coral, which is porous and sensitive.

For pieces containing coral:

Use a soft, wet toothbrush to gently remove dirt.
Avoid soaking. Rinse lightly and dry completely with a soft towel.

Final Notes

Jewelry is meant to be worn and loved — and like anything well-loved, it will show signs of its journey. With mindful care, your Legendary Patania Jewelry will only grow more beautiful with time.
