Caring for your jewellery

Mayuri jewelry is crafted with precious metals and natural stones, meant to be worn, loved, and passed on. With just a few mindful habits, you can preserve its beauty and integrity for years to come.

Silver & Vermeil Jewelry

Silver is a soft, living metal that naturally develops a patina over time, while vermeil combines sterling silver with a thick layer of 18k gold. These noble materials deserve gentle, regular care to maintain their brilliance.

To keep your piece in top condition:

Avoid contact with chemicals, cosmetics, and corrosive products
Remove jewelry during household chores or physical activity
Take off before sleeping to prevent accidental bending or catching
Never wear in the shower, bath, or swimming pool
Store in its original Mayuri box, away from moisture and friction
Clean using only your chamois cloth and mild soapy water
Avoid bending or flexing bangles repeatedly — it weakens the metal

Gold Jewelry with Precious Stones

Gold is durable, but still requires care, especially when set with precious stones. Over time, buildup and daily wear can dull its shine or wear down the setting.

Best practices for everyday care:

Remove rings before washing hands, sleeping, or physical activity
Be mindful of exposure to water, lotions, and perfumes
Store safely in a dry space, away from light and friction

Professional tip:
Signs of wear are normal: a jeweler can polish your piece to restore its original shine. We recommend a professional polish every 3–5 years.

How to Clean Your Gold Ring

Gold jewelry benefits from simple, non-abrasive cleaning. A warm water and soap solution is safe for yellow, white, and rose gold. Below you'll find specific tips based on the gold type.

Yellow Gold
Yellow gold can be cleaned using common household ingredients. Choose one of the following mixtures:

Dish soap or Marseille soap + lukewarm water
Coca-Cola
White vinegar + warm water
Baking soda + warm water
Toothpaste

How to clean:

Soak for ~20 minutes (except with toothpaste)
Rinse with cold water
Dry gently with a microfiber cloth or chamois
If using toothpaste, apply and lightly brush with a soft toothbrush, then rinse and dry

White Gold
White gold requires more delicate care due to its rhodium plating.

Use only:

Warm water + Marseille soap
Clean gently and dry as outlined above

Why this matters:
White gold is naturally yellow at its core. Its white appearance comes from a rhodium finish, which fades over time. Replating every 2–3 years helps preserve its color and protection. A polish is always needed before new rhodium is applied.

Rose Gold
Rose gold’s signature hue comes from its copper content, which ensures the color remains vibrant over time. No external plating is required.

You can use any of the yellow gold methods to clean it safely.

Caring for Precious Stones

From diamonds to emeralds, natural gemstones each have their own character and durability. With regular gentle care, their brilliance can be preserved beautifully.

What you’ll need:

A soft-bristled toothbrush
Dish soap or Marseille soap (no harsh chemicals)
A container of warm water
A container of cold water
A microfiber cloth, paper towel, or chamois

Diamonds
Hard and brilliant, diamonds still attract grease and buildup.

Care steps:

Gently brush stone and setting to remove debris
Soak in soapy lukewarm water for ~10 minutes
Rinse with cold water
Pat dry with a microfiber cloth or chamois

Tip:
Use a degreasing dish soap for best results.

Sapphires & Rubies
Extremely durable and second only to diamonds in hardness.

Care steps:

Use the same process as for diamond jewelry
Clean gently and regularly to maintain shine

Emeralds
Care guidelines:

Avoid sudden temperature changes
Be cautious during wear and cleaning
Use the same method as above, but with extra gentleness

Reminder:
Handle emeralds with greater care in daily wear to preserve their natural beauty.
