Shiny jewellery is the best, right? So, let's care for it!
Any metal will eventually tarnish. This is due to the oxygen in the air reacting with the metal. But there are ways to bring your jewellery back to its original shine!
Proper jewellery care helps keep your pieces beautiful for years to come. This short video shows simple everyday habits that prevent tarnishing and unnecessary wear.
A little care goes a long way — gentle cleaning and mindful storage will preserve both shine and structure.
With every order, I provide a little polishing pad. Clean jewellery after use with a soft cloth. Whenever you feel like it, bring it to shine with this polishing pad.
It can be reused many times and is not a one-use-only product!
Don’t use on purposely non-shiny parts, though, as you might rub off the unique patina.
Once nice and shiny, here are a few essential tips to keep it this way for longer:
- Keep away from water (take off before showering, bathing, swimming)
- Avoid direct contact with perfumes, lotions, creams and chemicals
- Take jewellery off before going to bed
- Remove jewellery before working up a sweat

HELP! MY SKIN IS TURNING GREEN!
What is the green residue?
The green colour on your skin from certain jewellery happens when metals like copper (which is part of most metals and not just brass, even 925 Sterling Silver) react with the acids in your skin, creating a greenish substance. It's harmless and washes off easily.
byMaraca offers mainly jewellery made from brass due to its beautiful golden colour and affordability compared to actual gold.
How can I avoid it?
The easiest way to avoid a discolouration of your skin whilst still wearing your beautiful jewellery is building a barrier with clear nail varnish. It is long-lasting and cheap. Just apply a thin coat to where the metal touches the skin to prevent the copper reacting with the acids. Reapply as often as necessary.
