Jewellery Care

Each MXW piece is made to be worn and loved every day. Follow these simple care notes to keep your jewellery looking its best for years to come.

Gold Filled
Water Resistant

14K Gold Filled

Gold filled is significantly more durable than gold plated jewellery and handles everyday water exposure well. With simple care it will maintain its warmth and shine for years.

  • Safe for everyday water exposure — showering and handwashing friendly
  • Clean with mild soap and lukewarm water, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth
  • Apply perfume and lotions before putting on your jewellery — never after
  • Store separately in a soft pouch to prevent scratching or tangling

Avoid

  • Prolonged exposure to chlorinated pools and saltwater
  • Direct contact with perfume, hairspray, and cleaning agents
  • Storing in humid environments for extended periods
Sterling Silver
Needs Maintenance

925 Sterling Silver

Our sterling silver carries an anti-tarnish coating for longer-lasting shine. Silver is a natural material that will oxidise over time — this is normal and easily restored, but it does require regular attention to keep it looking its best.

  • Store in a dry, airtight pouch when not wearing
  • Polish regularly with a soft silver or jewellery cloth to restore shine
  • Apply perfume and lotions before wearing — never directly onto the piece
  • Remove before showering, swimming, and handwashing

Avoid

  • All water exposure
  • Perfume, lotions, and cleaning agents in direct contact
  • Humid environments and damp storage
  • Harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive cloths
18K PVD Steel
Water Resistant

18K Gold PVD Stainless Steel

PVD is the most water-resistant option in our range and the most low-maintenance. It is designed to handle active everyday wear with minimal care.

  • Wipe with a soft cloth after wearing to remove oils and residue
  • Safe for everyday water exposure — showering and swimming friendly
  • Store in a dry place away from humidity when not wearing

Avoid

  • Extended exposure to saltwater and chlorinated pools
  • Harsh chemical cleaners and abrasive materials
  • Strong solvents, bleach, or perfume sprayed directly onto the piece
Pearls
Handle with Care

All Pearl Jewellery

Pearls are organic gems and share the same care needs. A well-kept pearl only grows more beautiful with wear.

  • Always put on last — apply perfume, hairspray, and lotions before wearing
  • Wipe gently with a soft damp cloth after each wear to remove skin oils
  • Store in a soft breathable pouch or lined box
  • Store separately from other jewellery to prevent surface scratching
  • Remove before showering, swimming, or any water exposure
  • Have pearl strands re-knotted periodically if worn regularly

Avoid

  • All water exposure
  • Perfume, acids, hairsprays, and cleaning products in direct contact
  • Ultrasonic or steam cleaners
  • Direct sunlight and extreme heat for extended periods
Crystal
Water Resistant

Swarovski Crystal Elements

Swarovski crystal elements are precision-cut glass and durable by nature. Our crystal pieces use waterproof settings, making them safe for everyday wear including water exposure.

  • Safe for everyday water exposure — showering and handwashing friendly
  • Wipe gently with a soft dry cloth to maintain clarity and sparkle
  • Apply perfume and hairspray before wearing — not directly onto the piece
  • Store in a soft pouch away from other pieces to prevent scratching

Avoid

  • Harsh chemical cleaners and abrasive cloths
  • Ultrasonic cleaners which can loosen crystal settings
  • Prolonged exposure to chlorinated pools and saltwater
Gemstones
Keep Dry

Natural Gemstones

Our gemstones are natural stones selected for their individual character and colour. Natural gemstones can be sensitive to water, chemicals, and prolonged sun exposure.

  • Wipe gently with a soft dry cloth after wearing
  • Apply perfume and lotions before wearing — never directly onto the stones
  • Store separately in a soft pouch to prevent scratching
  • Remove before showering, swimming, or exercising

Avoid

  • Prolonged water exposure
  • Direct contact with perfume, cleaning agents, and chemicals
  • Extended exposure to direct sunlight
  • Ultrasonic cleaners

Store each piece separately in a soft pouch to prevent scratching and tangling.
