 Each stamped piece Marco creates is a testament to patience, precision, and a deep love for the craft. Marco makes each of his stamps by hand, beginning with simple steel rods that he anneals, meticulously carves, and then re-hardens, a skill he honed at the Haystack Mountain School of Craft in 2017.

Every tiny mark on the silver is placed by Marco’s careful hammering: too light a strike and the pattern fades; too strong and the silver distorts. It’s a delicate dance between force and finesse, transforming plain sheet silver into richly textured works of art.

His patterns draw inspiration from the world around him, from intricate tiles and textiles to historic architecture in Tucson’s oldest neighborhoods, or an abstract vision that demands days, sometimes weeks, of experimentation until it’s exactly right.

Marco’s stamped jewelry has become his signature style; it’s not just stunning jewelry, but a glimpse into his artistic mind, his dedication, and the countless hours he spends bringing each piece to life.

 Each piece of Legendary Patania Jewelry is carefully crafted with tradition and an enduring respect for the natural materials we use. Our pieces are crafted from sterling silver and feature hand-selected, high-quality stones, including genuine turquoise, coral, and other stunning 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 about 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 remove dirt gently.

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.
