Frequently Asked Questions

What metal is the necklace made from?

The necklace is made from sterling silver, marked 925 fineness, meaning it is 92.5 percent pure silver. The oxidized finish darkens the rope edge detailing around the pendant for contrast against the polished silver.

How long is the necklace and how does the extender work?

The necklace measures 18 inch with a 2 inch extender attached at the clasp. This extra length lets it be worn slightly longer or shorter depending on preference, closing with a spring ring clasp.

What size is the turquoise stone on the necklace?

The turquoise stone set into the necklace measures 10 mm x 12 mm. Turquoise is an opaque blue-to-green stone that is comparatively soft and porous compared to harder gemstones.

How should I care for the necklace?

Because the necklace is sterling silver, it will darken over time in air, which a soft polishing cloth can reverse. Keep the turquoise stone away from oils, lotions, and cosmetics, which can alter its color over time.

How to Care for Your 18 + 2 Oxidized Rope Edge Turquoise Necklace

1. Wipe the piece with a soft polishing cloth to remove tarnish that naturally forms on sterling silver over time.
2. Store it in a dry pouch or lined box away from air exposure to slow further darkening.
3. Keep the turquoise stone away from oils, lotions, and cosmetics, which can alter its color.
4. Remove the necklace before swimming, bathing, or exercising to limit moisture contact with the silver and stone.
5. Check the spring ring clasp periodically to confirm it closes securely.
