Silver Muse Nacozari Turquoise Trillion Pendant with Star. Excellent condition. Worn once or twice. Well-cared for. Purchased from Silver Muse on April 24, 2023. See pics for measurements. Chain 20”. Artist: “Silver Muse is my hand-crafted jewelry business operated in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. I am a silversmith and a lapidarist and have been creating jewelry since 2010. From sterling silver jewelry with hand cut turquoise, to sawn sterling silver, everything is made right in the studio.” Materials: “I use eco-friendly, recycled silver whenever possible. This means that the suppliers I buy silver from have melted down scrap sterling silver and reformed it into sheet or wire which I buy from the USA. I purchase rough turquoise and finished turquoise from other small, mom-pop businesses just like my own. These are the mine owners or other lapidary artists like myself who have close ties to the mine owners.” Care: “I recommend using Sunshine or Moonshine polishing cloths or Pro Polish Pads. Do not use dips to clean your jewelry. Dips can remove oxidation, so a soft cleaning cloth will wipe away the tarnish while preserving the intended oxidation. Harsh chemicals like chlorine, bleach, and sulfuric water will blacken silver and ruin stones. You can always clean real silver. If your jewelry has stones in it, try as best as possible to avoid any liquid chemicals, heavy sweating, manual labor, or dropping the piece as this can damage the stone and possibly the silver.”
