Sparkle & Shine: The Complete Musella Jewelry Maintenance Guide

Musella jewelry is designed to be worn and loved every day, but a little extra care can go a long way in preserving its beauty. To keep your pieces radiant, we recommend avoiding contact with chemicals, perfumes and lotions while wearing them. It’s best to put on your jewelry last when getting ready and take it off first at the end of the day. Store each piece separately in a soft pouch to prevent scratches and reduce exposure to air and humidity.

Remove your jewelry before showering, swimming, exercising, or any activities that cause heavy perspiration. Sweat, in particular, can affect the luster of pearls and cause tarnishing on gold-plated pieces. To minimize this, we recommend gently wiping your jewelry with the soft cloth that came with it after each wear and cleaning it when necessary.

Our collections feature natural materials like freshwater pearls, agate, crystal, mother-of-pearl, and 14K/18K gold plated copper cores. These materials, while beautiful, are naturally delicate and deserve a bit of mindful care.

When cleaning your jewelry, please keep these tips in mind :

  • Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use jewelry cleaners, ultrasonic machines, or any products containing alcohol, ammonia, or acids, as these can strip the luster of pearls and damage gold plating.
  • Use Mild Soap: If necessary, clean your pieces with lukewarm water and a drop of mild, pH-neutral soap. Avoid soaking—briefly dip and wipe gently.
  • Soft Cloth Only: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to clean and dry your jewelry. Avoid paper towels or tissues, which can scratch delicate surfaces.
  • Keep Water Exposure Brief: Natural stones like agate and crystal, as well as gold-plated pieces, should not be submerged for long periods. A quick wipe with a damp cloth is enough.
  • Dry Immediately: Ensure your jewelry is completely dry before storing it to prevent moisture-related tarnishing or dullness.
