Caring for Your Jewellery: Tips to Keep Your Pieces Shining
To ensure your Meraki Studio jewellery remains beautiful for years to come, proper care and maintenance are essential. Here are some helpful tips to keep your pieces looking their best. Regular Cleaning To maintain the shine of your jewellery, clean it regularly. Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe away any dirt or oils after each wear. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, but avoid harsh chemicals that can damage the materials. Safe Storage Store your jewellery in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and humidity. Using a jewellery box with individual compartments or soft pouches can help prevent scratches and tangles. Avoiding Chemicals Keep your jewellery away from harsh chemicals, perfumes, and lotions. Apply these products before putting on your jewellery to avoid tarnishing or discolouration. Gentle Handling Handle your jewellery with care, especially delicate pieces. Remove your jewellery before engaging in activities that could lead to damage, such as exercising or swimming. By following these simple care tips, you can ensure that your Meraki Studio jewellery remains as beautiful as the day you bought it.

Why Choose 925 Sterling Silver? The Benefits of Quality Jewelry
When it comes to choosing jewellery, quality matters. At Meraki Studio, we primarily use 925 sterling silver, a premium material that offers numerous benefits. Durability 925 sterling silver is composed of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, typically copper. This combination makes it more durable and resistant to scratching and tarnishing compared to pure silver, ensuring your pieces last for years. Hypoallergenic Properties For those with sensitive skin, 925 sterling silver is an excellent choice. It is hypoallergenic, meaning it is less likely to cause allergic reactions or irritations, making it suitable for everyday wear. Timeless Elegance Silver has been cherished for centuries, and its timeless appeal makes it a versatile choice for any occasion. Whether you’re dressing up for a special event or adding a touch of elegance to your everyday outfit, 925 sterling silver complements any style. Value for Money Investing in quality materials like 925 sterling silver means you’re choosing longevity and craftsmanship. Our pieces are designed to be cherished for years to come, offering you great value for your investment. By choosing 925 sterling silver jewellery from Meraki Studio, you’re not just enhancing your collection; you’re making a choice for quality, durability, and timeless elegance.
