Collection: Red Native American Jewelry

Sterling silver naturally darkens over time, and many pieces are finished with a light patina to enhance their character. To gently remove any tarnish or patina, use a soft polishing cloth—never solvents, commercial cleaners, or steam. Keep jewelry completely dry: remove rings before washing hands, using hand sanitizer, or applying lotions, and avoid any liquid contact (water, oils, perfumes). Moisture can expand the sawdust setting in Native American inlay work, loosening or displacing stones. Also avoid heat and harsh chemicals (chlorine, ammonia, household cleaners). For storage, keep each piece in a cool, dry place—ideally inside an airtight anti-tarnish bag or a soft cloth pouch—and store items separately to prevent scratching.

A “STERLING” or “925” stamp tells you that the maker crafted the piece from 92.5% pure silver mixed with 7.5% alloy for extra strength, ensuring you get genuine, durable sterling silver often used in Native jewelry.
