Caring for meenakari & kundan jewellery

Last on, first off

Put jewellery on after perfume, hairspray, lotion and make-up — and take it off before you wash up or change. Chemicals and moisture are what dull a gold-toned finish.

Keep it dry

• Don't wear it in the shower, pool, sea or while exercising.
• If a piece gets damp, pat it dry gently with a soft cloth — never rub the meenakari.
• Avoid storing in humid bathrooms.

Store each piece separately

Keep every piece in its own pouch or a lined box so stones don't scratch enamel and chains don't tangle. A small silica gel sachet in the box helps in monsoon months.

Cleaning

Wipe with a soft, dry cotton or microfibre cloth after wearing. Don't use liquid cleaners, toothpaste, baking soda or ultrasonic cleaners on meenakari or kundan — they can lift the enamel and loosen stones.

Kundan & stones

Kundan stones are set by hand. Avoid pressing on them or dropping the piece on hard floors; if a stone loosens, keep it safe and message us.

Adjustable rings

Open or close an adjustable ring slowly and only as much as needed — repeated bending can fatigue the band.

What to expect

This is fashion jewellery with a plated finish over a brass or alloy base. With care it keeps its look for many wears; with sweat, perfume and water it will dull faster. We never claim “anti-tarnish for life” because no plated jewellery can honestly promise that.
