Jewellery Care Guide

At Maya Magal London we only work with high-quality materials, from natural gemstones and conflict free diamonds to precious metals.
We want you to wear your jewellery everyday and with a few tips and tricks you can keep your piece looking brand new for longer.
If it ever loses its sparkle we are always here to help! 

 

Sterling silver

925 Sterling Silver is an alloy made of 92.5% pure Silver and 7.5% Copper. Our silver jewellery is also plated in rhodium, which gives it that extra shine.
 
Care & Repair
As silver is sensitive to H20 we advise to remove all jewellery when you come into contact with water, especially sea water, perfume or chlorine. This will help avoid your jewellery oxidising over time.The more you wear your silver jewellery the better. Your skin’s oils are a natural buffer for silver and help to reduce the oxidation process.
 

If your silver ever becomes tarnished or oxidised you can give it a quick clean with the polishing cloth provided.

Alternatively get in touch with us for a complimentary freshen up!

Storage
When not wearing your jewels, try to keep them in a safe, dry (air tight if possible) location. 

 

Gold Plated Jewellery

All of our gold plated jewellery is made up of 925 sterling silver (as above) with a layer of 18ct gold on top. We apply a thick layer of 18ct gold on our gold plated pieces: all rings and bracelets have 3 microns and all other styles 2 microns, which is above industry standards.The more you wear your jewellery, the more the top layers eventually wear away. With gold plated jewellery, eventually the gold layer wears down and the silver beneath shines through. That's not a problem, get in touch for our replating service!

Care & Repair

As silver is sensitive to H20 we advise to remove all jewellery when you come into contact with water, especially sea water, perfume or chlorine. This will help avoid your jewellery oxidising over time and help reduce the impact on the gold plating. 

If your gold plated jewellery needs a bit of TLC you can always get in touch with us for our quick replating service.

Solid Gold - 18ct & 9ct

At Maya Magal London we work with white, yellow and rose gold in both 18 & 9ct. Solid Gold is a precious metal that doesn’t need much care. It doesn’t oxidise or discolour.

Care & Repair
Occasionally the shine may dull on gold but can be restored with a quick rub from our polishing cloth provided with your order.

Alternatively feel free to get in touch with us for a complimentary freshen up!

It’s all part of the service.

When not wearing your jewels, try to keep them in a safe & dry location.
