Jewelry Care Guide

Caring for your MEÏK jewelry ensures its timeless beauty endures. Follow these simple steps to preserve the shine and longevity of your sterling silver and gold vermeil pieces.

Everyday Care Tips

Your jewelry deserves gentle, daily attention to maintain its brilliance.

  • Remove before activities: Take off your jewelry before showering, swimming, exercising, or applying lotions and perfumes
  • Avoid harsh chemicals: Keep pieces away from cleaning products, chlorine, and saltwater
  • Put jewelry on last: Apply makeup, hairspray, and perfume before wearing your pieces
  • Wipe after wearing: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently remove oils and residue

How to Clean Your Jewelry

Regular cleaning keeps your MEÏK pieces looking their best.

Sterling Silver (925)

  • Use a specialized silver polishing cloth to restore shine
  • For deeper cleaning, mix warm water with mild dish soap
  • Gently scrub with a soft-bristled brush, rinse, and pat dry
  • Avoid abrasive materials that can scratch the surface

Gold Vermeil

  • Wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth
  • Never use harsh chemicals or ultrasonic cleaners
  • Avoid excessive rubbing to preserve the gold layer
  • For stubborn dirt, use lukewarm water and mild soap, then dry immediately

How to Store Your Jewelry

Proper storage protects your jewelry from tarnish and damage.

  • Keep pieces separate: Store each item individually to prevent scratching
  • Use airtight containers: Minimize exposure to air and moisture with sealed pouches or boxes
  • Avoid humidity: Store in a cool, dry place away from bathrooms
  • Use anti-tarnish strips: Place them in your jewelry box to slow oxidation
  • Hang necklaces: Prevent tangling by using hooks or a jewelry stand

How to Preserve Longevity

With mindful care, your MEÏK jewelry will remain a cherished part of your collection for years.

  • Rotate your pieces: Give each item time to rest between wears
  • Inspect regularly: Check clasps, prongs, and chains for signs of wear
  • Professional maintenance: Have your jewelry professionally cleaned and inspected annually
  • Handle with care: Avoid pulling or tugging on delicate chains and settings
  • Know your materials: Understand the specific needs of sterling silver versus gold vermeil

Caring for your pieces is a way of honoring their meaning and timeless design.
