Jewelry Care Guide

At Mìrel, we create fine jewelry designed to be worn, loved, and passed down through generations. Crafted in 18K gold, our pieces are modern heirlooms—meant to evolve with time. History isn’t pristine; it’s created through use and wear. Every scratch, patina, and subtle shift in texture is part of the story your jewelry tells. With mindful care, each piece will continue to age beautifully, carrying its history forward.

Daily Wear & Handling

Jewelry is meant to be worn, but care should be taken to protect delicate elements. Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals, perfumes, and lotions, as they can affect both metals and stones over time. Remove jewelry before swimming, exercising, or sleeping—especially rope chains, which are more fragile and prone to tangling or breakage with prolonged tension.

Gold & Black Rhodium-Plated Jewelry

Our pieces are crafted in solid 18K gold, chosen for its richness and durability. Gold naturally develops character over time, softening into a patina that enhances its depth and beauty.

For pieces featuring black rhodium plating, be mindful that exposure to water and daily wear may cause the plating to fade. This is not a flaw but a transformation—adding depth and uniqueness to your jewelry. However, if you prefer to restore its original finish, black rhodium can be easily reapplied by us or a trusted local jeweler.

Diamonds & Gemstones

All our diamonds are natural, chosen for their brilliance and clarity. To keep them sparkling, gently wash with warm water, mild soap, and a soft brush to remove any buildup. A simple routine of gentle cleaning will ensure they continue to shine over time.

Our precious gemstones—including morganite, London blue topaz, and white topaz—require extra care. Some stones are more porous or sensitive to heat and sudden temperature changes. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, chemicals, or extreme conditions. A soft cloth or mild soap and water is the best way to keep them clean.

Micromosaic Jewelry

Micromosaic is an intricate, handcrafted art form that requires special attention. Avoid dropping or exposing micromosaic pieces to excessive moisture, as the delicate tesserae can loosen over time. To clean, use a soft, damp cloth and store in a protected space when not in use.

Storage & Protection

To prevent scratches or tangling, store each piece separately in a soft pouch or a lined jewelry box. Keep jewelry away from extreme temperatures and humidity, which can affect certain metals and gemstones.

Professional Servicing & Repairs

As jewelry is worn, settings may loosen, and clasps may require maintenance. We recommend a professional inspection once a year to ensure stones remain secure and your jewelry stays in perfect condition. Should your black rhodium plating fade, or if any adjustments are needed, we’re happy to restore your piece, or you may visit a trusted jeweler.

By following these care practices, your Mìrel jewelry will continue to tell its story—one that is shaped by time, wear, and the life you live in it.
