Frequently Asked Questions
Before you buy
What is stabilization?
Stabilization involves applying epoxy or resin to a raw stone for enhanced durability and workability. This process creates a smoother, stronger stone, minimizing chipping and facilitating repairs, commonly used in fashion jewelry to maintain turquoise's beauty and integrity.
Is white buffalo stone, turquoise?
White Buffalo Stone, you may have heard as White Buffalo Turquoise or White Turquoise, is not technically turquoise. Despite its name, it does not contain significant amounts of copper, which is the defining element for turquoise. White Buffalo Stone is primarily comprised of calcite and iron. While it shares some visual similarities with turquoise, it is a distinct and separate mineral.
Does genuine Turquoise have copper in it?
Yes, genuine turquoise, in its natural form, contains copper. Copper is one of the key components that contribute to the distinctive blue and green hues of turquoise. The presence of copper minerals, along with aluminum and phosphorus, creates the color variations in turquoise. These minerals form in the presence of certain geological conditions, and the combination of elements gives turquoise its unique and highly prized appearance.
What kind of Silver do you use?
All TipsyTurquoiseCo jewelry is made from .925 Sterling Silver.
Do you sell genuine stone pieces?
Short and sweet, Yes! If we ever do have a piece in our catalog that is not genuine turquoise, spiny oyster, conch, white buffalo, or another stone, it will be labeled and in bold.
Yes, but not drastically. The appearance of the jewelry you order may vary from the picture due to factors such as lighting, natural variations in stones, and the inherent uniqueness of each gem. While efforts are made to accurately represent products in photos, slight differences in color, patterns, and textures can occur.
Certainly! Along with every order, we include a handy polishing cloth to assist you in keeping your jewelry in pristine condition.
After you buy
Turquoise jewelry, when paired with silver, requires separate cleaning for both components.
Sterling Silver: Use a silver polishing cloth. Good thing we packed one for ya! If you're missing it, you can buy off good'ol amazon! Reminder: All metals will tarnish, even sterling silver. So make sure you keep your cloth close.
Stones: A damp cloth for the stone will do the trick. Gently pat the stone dry after cleaning with water.
Overall: To prevent tarnishing, store your jewelry in an airtight ziplock bag.
Sterling Silver: No, any skin discoloration with the sterling silver oxidized pearls may occur due to residue from the oxidation process. It's temporary and won't cause lasting discoloration to your skin.
Stones: We have not experienced any skin discoloration in the past, and we are committed to maintaining this standard in the future. Our stones are crafted from genuine stones, ensuring no skin discoloration will occur.
Copper: Yes, copper can leave a green tint on the skin, but this is temporary and harmless. Many people appreciate wearing copper on the wrist for its potential health benefits. It is believed that copper can promote joint health and alleviate conditions like arthritis. While the green tint is a natural reaction, it's often seen as a small trade-off for the potential well-being advantages of wearing copper.
