Frequently Asked Questions

What metal is the ring made from?

The piece is made from .925 sterling silver with an oxidized finish that darkens the recessed areas while leaving the raised rope edge detail bright. This is a deliberate finish applied over the sterling silver, not a separate plating.

What stone does the ring feature?

The piece features turquoise, an opaque blue-to-green stone. Turquoise is comparatively soft and porous, so it is best kept away from oils, lotions, and cosmetics that could alter its color over time.

What sizes is the ring available in?

The piece is available in whole sizes 6, 7, 8, and 9. The band itself measures 7-2 mm.

How do I care for the oxidized finish on the ring?

Clean the piece with a soft, dry cloth rather than a polishing cloth or dip, since either would strip the darkened finish and flatten the rope edge design. Warm water with a drop of mild dish soap works well for a light clean when needed.

How to Care for Your Oxidized Turquoise Rope Edge Ring

1. Wipe the piece with a soft, dry cloth to remove everyday residue without disturbing the oxidized finish.
2. Clean it with warm water and a drop of mild dish soap when a deeper clean is needed, then dry thoroughly.
3. Avoid polishing cloths or silver dips, since they strip the darkened recesses and flatten the rope edge detail.
4. Keep the turquoise away from oils, lotions, and cosmetics that can alter its color.
5. Store the piece dry and closed to help slow tarnish buildup.
