A little care goes a long way

Natural materials, antique details and hand settings reward mindful wear and storage.

At a glance

Four simple habits protect your jewellery.

These everyday habits help preserve colour, texture, stone settings and delicate natural materials.

Wear mindfully

Avoid swimming, bathing and exercising while wearing jewellery.

Apply products first

Put on perfume, lotion and hair products before your jewellery.

Wipe gently

Use a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, soaking and ultrasonic cleaners.

Store separately

Keep each piece in its own pouch or box to prevent scratching.

Handling and wearing

Protect the materials before the day begins.

Handle your jewellery with gentle care. Pearls, delicate beads, antique elements and natural materials are especially sensitive to acids, moisture and heat.

  • Handle your jewellery with gentle care.
  • Avoid wearing your jewellery while swimming, bathing or exercising.
  • Apply perfumes, lotions or hair products before putting on your jewellery to prevent residue.
  • Pearls and delicate beads are sensitive to acids, moisture and heat. Avoid direct contact with cosmetics, chemicals and perspiration.

First rule

Jewellery should be the final thing you put on and the first thing you take off.

Cleaning your jewellery

Clean gently at home, inspect professionally every six months.

You can clean your pieces at home occasionally, but we recommend having your jewellery professionally cleaned and inspected every six months. Professional cleaning not only restores shine but also allows the jeweller to check gemstone settings, ensuring they remain secure and preventing potential loss.

Settings can be delicate and may shift if knocked or caught on something.

SuhaniMara service

We offer free polishing and inspection of any SuhaniMara jewellery at any time. Repairs, if needed, may incur an additional cost depending on the type of servicing required.

Material guide

Different materials need different care.

SuhaniMara pieces may combine metals, gemstones, fossils, shells, wood, beads, pearls and antique elements. Use the gentlest possible method first.

Silver

Sterling silver naturally darkens over time because pure silver is alloyed with other metals, commonly copper, for durability. When needed, wipe gently with a soft cloth and avoid harsh chemicals that may damage antique finishes or design details.

Gemstones and uncut stones

Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid soaking or using ultrasonic cleaners.

Fossils and meteorites

Wipe carefully with a dry or slightly damp cloth to preserve texture and natural patina.

Shells, wood and beads

Protect from prolonged moisture and wipe dry after wear.

Pearls and antique beads

Never soak in water or cleaning solutions. Wipe gently with a soft cloth after each wear.

Antique elements

Avoid abrasive materials, strong cleaners and long exposure to water so the original finish and character remain intact.

Storing your jewellery

Let each piece rest separately.

Storage is part of jewellery care. Keeping pieces separated, dry and away from extreme conditions helps preserve their surface, colour, shape and texture.

  • Store each piece separately in its pouch or box to prevent scratches.
  • Avoid storing pearls and delicate beads in dark, humid spaces; natural materials need air circulation.
  • Keep jewellery away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures to preserve colour and texture.
  • For long-term storage, wrap delicate pieces in acid-free tissue paper.

Do’s and don’ts

A simple care checklist.

When in doubt, choose the gentlest option and ask us before using any strong cleaning method.

Do

  • Bring your piece to us for professional cleaning or restoration when needed.
  • Wipe gently after wear.
  • Store pieces separately.

Don’t

  • Use abrasive materials or chemicals.
  • Expose antique elements to water for long periods.
  • Store multiple pieces together without protection.
  • Place pearls, eggshells or delicate beads in sealed dark spaces for extended periods.

Legacy care

A SuhaniMara jewel is more than adornment.

SuhaniMara jewellery is more than adornment, it’s a legacy. With mindful care, your pieces will continue to connect history, art, and personal stories for years to come.
