Collection: Orange Krush 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.

A composite stone is made by combining small pieces of genuine gemstones—like turquoise, coral, or lapis—with a binding material to form a solid, cohesive piece. In Native American jewelry, these stones are often used to create bold, colorful designs while making use of smaller, naturally broken pieces of high-quality stone. Composite stones are real but enhanced, offering an affordable and sustainable way to showcase traditional craftsmanship and vibrant colors.

Orange Krush is a vibrant composite stone used in Native American jewelry, known for its bold orange and red hues often mixed with turquoise or other minerals. It's made by combining natural stone fragments—such as spiny oyster or dyed quartz—with resin to create a colorful, eye-catching material. While not a naturally occurring gemstone, Orange Krush is popular for its striking look and affordability. It’s commonly set in sterling silver and adds a fiery, contemporary touch to traditional handcrafted designs.
