Jewelry Care

Maleia is made from high-quality metals, along with great attention to detail.

We use 14k gold-fill, sterling silver, sterling silver with electrogold plating, and brass with 14k gold plating.

The plating we use will last for long periods of time if you take care of your jewelry. It is always best to take your gold-plated jewelry off while doing vigorous exercise, showering, swimming or sleeping. It is also best to be mindful that you do not spray hairspray or perfumes around your jewelry.

• Opals, emeralds and pearls need a little bit of extra care as they are soft and can easily be scratched.
• 14k gold-fill is extremely durable. It is 14k gold bonded to sterling silver or brass. It is safe for people with most allergies. Easy to clean with gentle soap and water.
• Sterling silver (.925) should be kept away from moisture while it is not being worn, as it will tarnish quickly. Keeping it in an airtight sealed baggy will prevent it from tarnishing. It is easily polished with a jewelry cloth.

Cleaning your 14k gold-plated jewelry is important to prolong its life. Use gentle liquid soap and water. Avoid any harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Avoid brushing or rubbing the plated jewelry.

If you follow these steps your jewelry will keep on looking beautiful. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Thank you,
