18 + 2 Oxidized Spiny Oyster and Turquoise Necklace

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the pendant on the necklace made of?

The pendant on the necklace is a spiny oyster and turquoise stone measuring 10 mm x 11 mm, set in oxidized sterling silver.

How long is the necklace, and can it be adjusted?

The necklace measures 18 inch with a 2 inch extender, so the length can be adjusted slightly by moving the clasp along the extender chain.

How do I care for the necklace over time?

Because the necklace is sterling silver, it will darken naturally in air; a soft polishing cloth restores the shine. Keep the turquoise away from lotions, perfumes and other cosmetics, which can affect its color over time.

What type of clasp does the necklace use?

The necklace fastens with a spring ring clasp, a small sprung circle that attaches to the chain's extender link.

How to Care for Your 18 + 2 Oxidized Spiny Oyster and Turquoise Necklace

1. Wipe the piece with a soft polishing cloth to remove tarnish from the sterling silver.
2. Store it in a pouch or closed box to slow further darkening of the silver.
3. Remove the necklace before applying lotions, perfumes or cosmetics that can affect the turquoise.
4. Avoid water, chlorine and household cleaners, which can dull the silver and stone.
