Frequently Asked Questions
Are the gemstones in the collection natural and authentic?
Yes, 100%. Every piece features genuine, hand-selected natural gemstones—including Sonoran turquoise, Chiapas amber, Dominican larimar, red coral, amethyst, and rutilated quartz, among others. Because each stone is naturally formed, every cabochon displays its own unique organic matrix, color depth, and character, ensuring your chosen design is truly one of a kind.
How are the gemstones set into the silver?
Master silversmiths in Taxco hand-forge custom bezel settings and protective silver scrollwork specifically tailored to the exact contours of each individual stone. This traditional hand-setting technique keeps fragile natural gems securely anchored against daily activity without using cheap adhesives or flimsy prong settings.
How should I care for silver jewelry set with natural stones?
Natural stones like turquoise, larimar, coral, and amber appreciate gentle care. Avoid exposing your gemstone jewelry to harsh chemical cleansers, ultrasonic cleaners, or swimming pools. To maintain both the silver shine and stone radiance, gently wipe the silver with a polishing cloth and clean the stones using a soft, damp cloth.
Where are these gemstone pieces made?
Every piece in Nueve Sterling's collection is handcrafted directly in certified workshops in Taxco, Mexico—a world-famous silversmithing town with a long history of metalworking heritage. Your purchase directly supports master artisans and preserves traditional Mexican craft.
