Jewellery Care Guide

At Meraki Studio, every piece is crafted with love, care, and attention to detail. Whether your jewellery is solid 9ct gold, sterling silver, or a custom-made impression print piece, proper care will keep it looking beautiful for years to come. Follow these simple guidelines to protect and maintain your treasured pieces:

General Care Tips for All Jewellery

• Store Safely: Keep your jewellery in a clean, dry place. Use a soft pouch or jewellery box to prevent scratches and tangling.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Perfumes, lotions, cleaning products, and household chemicals can tarnish and damage metals over time - keep your jewellery away from these.
• Remove Before Activities: Take off your jewellery before swimming, showering, exercising, or doing household chores, especially when using cleaning chemicals or abrasive materials. These can cause wear, tarnishing, or damage.
• Clean Gently: Wipe your jewellery regularly with a soft cloth to remove dirt and oils. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then dry thoroughly with a clean cloth.

Caring for Sterling Silver Jewellery

Sterling silver naturally tarnishes over time when exposed to air and moisture. To keep it shining:

• Polish frequently with a silver polishing cloth to restore shine and remove tarnish.
• Store in an airtight bag or box to reduce exposure to air.
• Avoid water exposure by removing pieces before swimming, showering, or washing dishes.

Caring for 9ct Gold Jewellery

9ct gold is durable and resistant to tarnishing but still needs gentle care:

• Clean regularly with a soft cloth to maintain its shine.
• Avoid abrasive cleaners or materials to prevent scratches.
• Keep away from chlorine, bleach, and strong cleaning products.

Caring for Impression Print Jewellery

Our fingerprint and pet print jewellery is handcrafted with delicate detail, making care especially important:

• Avoid excessive friction or contact with rough surfaces to prevent scratching or wear on the designs.
• Keep pieces clean and dry by gently wiping with a soft cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution.
• Handle carefully to avoid bending or damaging intricate details.
