General jewelry care tips
Avoid exposing your jewelry to extreme heat, chlorine, chemicals, skincare products, and sprays such as colognes and perfumes. Residue from these products can accelerate tarnishing of silver and damage semi-precious stones and corals.
How to store jewelry
Store jewelry individually in your Maui Divers Jewelry soft pouch or a lined jewelry box to prevent scratches and tangling. Proper storage prevents contact with other items that might cause damage.
How to care for precious metals
Sterling Silver can withstand heat but may tarnish over time when exposed to salty air, chlorine, sulfur, humidity, sweat, cosmetics, household bleach, and other strong chemicals. Use a polishing cloth to restore its shine.
Gold can withstand heat, water, and moisture. To clean gold regularly, gently brush it with a soft-bristle toothbrush, warm water, and mild soap. Although rare, individuals with highly acidic skin may experience some tarnishing of precious metals over time.
How to care for pearls and deep-sea coral
Pearls are organic gems sensitive to acid and moisture. After wearing, wipe pearls with a damp, soft cloth to remove residue. Avoid exposing them to excessive heat or direct sunlight.
Deep-sea coral requires similar care — avoid exposure to lotions, perfumes, water, and similar substances, as these can cause unique design details to fade over time. If you're ever uncomfortable cleaning a piece yourself, free cleaning and polishing is available as part of your Forever Guarantee.
How to care for gemstones
Gemstones are delicate and some are vulnerable to chemicals, heat, and light. Avoid exposing gemstones to household cleaners, lotions, and perfumes. Clean gently using a soft cloth.
