PRODUCTS & CARE INFORMATION

Maai Way Jewelry is hand-made in Slovenia, an ideal equidistance between the stunning Alpine mountain tops and the seductively blue Adriatic Sea. Maai Way is currently a one-person company where the design, creation, brushing, polishing and finalizing the jewelry pieces are all done by a single person.

How should I care for my Maai Way Jewelry?

We recommend that customers remove jewelry before going to bed or participating in any physical activity. Specifically do not wear pendants when you are lying on your stomach and  avoid putting on bigger rings on the hand which you use for hand-shaking. Remove jewelry prior to bathing or swimming.

Exposing your jewelry to certain harsh chemicals or environments will result in potential compromising of its integrity. This includes, but is not limited to the following: perspiration, perfumes, cleaning agents, chlorine, salt water, and silver polish.

How should I clean my Maai Way Jewelry?

Pour a small amount of mild soap into lukewarm water and use a small, soft toothbrush to clean your jewelry. Toothbrushes are ideal for cleaning jewelry with intricate artistry, which can otherwise be difficult to clean. If the dirt is proving hard to remove, soak the jewelry in clean water. This particular cleaning method should not be used to clean jewelry with cultured freshwater pearls.

A silver-polishing cloth is a great tool to make your sterling silver jewelry shine again if the pieces are becoming dulled. However, this will not remove scratches. Silver-polishing cloths may be purchased from your local goldsmith’s.

Non-oxidized jewelry, if it does not have any stones or pearls, can also be cleaned with the silver-polishing liquid.

Please note that the colored jewelry pieces may intensify in appearance with age due to tarnishing, thus adding to the jewelry’s beautiful, vintage appeal. It is normal for the finishing to wear off over time. Maai Way warranty does not cover this type of wear and tear.

How should I store my Maai Way Jewelry?

Your Maai WayJewelry should be stored away from natural sunlight and heat, preferably in a protective jewelry box. It can also be stored in a plastic zip lock bag made of polyethylene. Never use polyvinyl plastic bags, such as bin liners as they contain sulfur compounds, which will make sterling silver tarnish faster. Do not store your jewelry in the bathroom.

Please note that our Maai Way gift boxes are not made for long-term storage as they are not airtight.

What do I need to know about my Maai Way jewelry?

Dark oxidation color disappears with time. This is considered normal wear and tear and is not a defect.

Things which may cause oxidation to fade include: perspiration, chlorine, perfumes, cleaning agents and silver polish. We do not recommend using silver-polishing liquid. Oxidized (dark) jewelry does not benefit from being dipped in silver-polishing liquid, as this destroys the oxidation.
