The Care Guide

Caring For Your Mairaa Jewellery

Fine jewellery is made to be lived in — and to last for generations. A little care keeps every piece as luminous as the moment it left our atelier.

Daily Care

Put your jewellery on last — after fragrance, cosmetics and hair products — and take it off first. Avoid contact with lotions, perfumes and cleaning agents, which dull brilliance over time. Remove pieces before swimming, bathing or exercising.

Cleaning Diamonds

Soak in a bowl of warm water with a drop of mild dish soap for 20 minutes. Gently brush behind the stones with a soft baby toothbrush to release trapped residue, rinse in clean water and pat dry with a lint-free cloth.

Cleaning Gemstones

Emeralds, rubies, sapphires and pearls are more delicate. Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth only — never soak pearls or emeralds. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners and harsh chemicals, which can damage natural inclusions and treatments.

Gold Care

18kt gold is enduring but soft. Buff gently with a dedicated gold-polishing cloth to restore lustre. Remove rings when handling abrasive surfaces, and avoid chlorine, which weakens gold alloys over time.

Storage

Store each piece separately in a soft pouch or lined box to prevent scratching. Keep away from heat and direct sunlight. Chains fasten best when clasped and laid flat to avoid tangling and kinks.

Travel Tips

Carry jewellery in a padded travel case in your hand luggage — never checked. Use individual compartments, thread chains through a straw to prevent knots, and keep an inventory of what you're travelling with.

Professional Servicing

We recommend a professional inspection and clean once a year. Our atelier checks settings, tightens prongs, re-polishes and re-plates where needed — keeping every MAIRAA piece as radiant as the day you received it.
