Everyday care
- Put your jewellery on last when getting dressed, after make-up, perfume and hairspray.
- Take it off before swimming, bathing, exercising or sleeping.
- Keep it away from perfumes, lotions, hairspray and household chemicals. They can dull the finish and damage stones.
- Wipe each piece with a soft, lint-free cloth after wearing to remove skin oils and residue.
How to clean your jewellery
For most pieces, a gentle wipe is all you need. For a deeper clean:
-
Wipe it down
Use a soft, lint-free cloth to remove oils and residue.
-
Clean gently
Use a soft toothbrush with mild, soapy water. Skip this step for pavé, crystal and pearl pieces.
-
Rinse and pat dry
Rinse quickly and pat dry straight away with a soft cloth.
-
Dry completely
Make sure the piece is fully dry before you store it.
Storing your jewellery
- Store each piece separately in its pouch or box to prevent scratches and tangles.
- Keep jewellery away from direct sunlight and humid places such as bathrooms.
- Add an anti-tarnish pouch or strip to your jewellery box for extra protection.
Gold-plated and rhodium-plated pieces
Plating is a fine layer of gold or rhodium over the base metal. Our pieces have an anti-tarnish finish, but water, sweat, perfume and chemicals can still dull plating over time.
Keep plated pieces dry, wipe them after wearing, and store them away from air and moisture to keep their colour and shine.
Pavé, crystal and cubic zirconia
Pavé settings and crystal details need a little extra care. Do not soak them in water, as this can loosen settings over time. Clean them only with a lightly dampened soft cloth, and avoid knocks against hard surfaces.
Pearls
Pearls are delicate and porous. Wipe them gently with a soft, damp cloth and never submerge them in water. Store them separately from metal jewellery so their surface does not get scratched.
Mangalsutras
Handle your mangalsutra with care, especially around the pendant setting. Store it flat or hanging to prevent the chain from kinking, and clean it with a soft, dry cloth.
Frequently asked questions
Can I wear my Miayaa jewellery in the shower?
We recommend taking it off before bathing, swimming or exercising. Water, soap and sweat can dull plating and loosen stone settings over time.
Will my jewellery tarnish?
Our pieces have an anti-tarnish finish. Like all plated jewellery, contact with water, sweat, perfume and chemicals can still dull the finish over time. Following this care guide helps your pieces keep their shine.
Is Miayaa jewellery safe for sensitive skin?
Our pieces are skin-safe and nickel-free. If you have a known metal allergy, check the materials in the product description or email miayaalifestyle@gmail.com before ordering.
How do I clean pavé or crystal pieces?
Wipe them with a lightly dampened soft cloth, then pat dry. Do not soak them or use a toothbrush, as this can loosen the stones.
Can I use a jewellery cleaning solution?
We recommend avoiding harsh chemical solutions and ultrasonic cleaners. Mild, soapy water and a soft cloth are enough for most pieces.
How should I travel with my jewellery?
Pack each piece separately in its pouch or box so pieces do not scratch or tangle, and keep them away from toiletries.
