Frequently Asked Questions
Where do you get your bone?
We currently us a mix of bison and beef bone. The bone we use, including bison bone, is all a byproduct of ranching and the animals and are not killed just for their bone. Bison are not endangered or near extinction. Thanks to the efforts or bison ranchers, there are over 380,000 bison in north America today. There are over 2500 bison ranchers in the USA alone.

​
What are the care instructions for your jewelry?
It is best not to store your piece in direct sunlight when not wearing it to avoid fading of the color over time. There are natural oils in the bone that may become more noticeable over time as well. While you should have no trouble wearing them in wet weather, they should not be worn while bathing, swimming or hot-tubing. If you need to clean your piece please do so with great care. You can use a soft cloth or Q-Tip with little pressure to remove any soil .It is best to avoid using water to clean your piece if possible. Using a Q-Tip with silver cleaner on the Sterling only (not the bone) will remove any silver tarnish. You may also use a polish cloth on the silver but it is important to keep the cloth off the painted bone as well, as the tarnish from the cloth may discolor the painting.
Using some care with your piece should keep your wearable art looking good for many years. If you ever have any problem with your item please contact us for assistance as we want for your experience with our art to always be an enjoyable one!
