Avoid contact with household chemicals perfumes and hairsprays. When not wearing your jewelry, keep it in a safe place.

If you feel your jewelry requires a specialist clean. We recommend you return to us for cleaning for a small fee.

Semi Precious Stones and Diamonds

Diamonds are hard enough to scratch other services. Please take care to store fine jewelry with diamonds separately from other pieces.

Semi precious stones can be lightly cleaned with a soft dry cloth. When wearing these items avoid chemicals such as deodorants, hairsprays and perfumes. Try to keep out of direct sunlight.

Prongs and clasps can become worn with time, or by accidentally knocking them. Please examine pieces regularly to avoid loss of stones in these instances. If loose stones do occur, please contact shop@machastudio.com at our New York studio

Oxidised or blackened silver

Macha oxidizes sterling and Fine Silver (99.9% silver) by hand, making each and every piece unique. Oxidising is a coating that wears off through time. To preserve the original appearance, follow the same care as for Fine Jewelry pieces. Some fading is normal though darkened areas should remain in crevices embracing the original antiqued appearance.
