Each type of metal has its unique properties, with specific strengths and limitations. Some metals are better suited for everyday wear due to their durability and ease of maintenance.
Our 18K gold
At Mara Paris, we use 18K gold exclusively for our fine jewelry, adhering to the same high standards as the world’s leading jewelry houses. We choose 18K gold for its ideal balance between luxury, quality, and durability, ensuring that each piece is both stunning and long-lasting.
While 18K gold is known for its quality and durability, it still requires proper care. Despite being more resistant to wear and tear than higher purity gold, such as 24K, 18K gold is relatively soft and can be scratched or bent if not handled carefully. Exposure to chemicals, sweat, or rough surfaces can dull its shine over time.
How to Preserve the Beauty and Longevity of Your Gold Jewelry
- Avoid Chemicals: Avoid harsh chemicals found in perfumes, lotions, or cleaning products. Always remove your gold jewelry before applying cosmetics or handling household cleaners.
- Regular Cleaning: To maintain its shine, gently clean your gold jewelry with a soft cloth on a regular basis.
- Proper Storage: Store your gold pieces in a fabric pouch or a lined box to prevent scratches. Keep gold jewelry separate from other pieces to avoid friction and damage.
The Diamonds
Diamonds are one of the hardest and most durable gemstones, but they still require care to maintain their brilliance:
- Avoid Residue: Diamonds can lose their sparkle if coated with residue from creams, cosmetics, or dirt. Regular cleaning will prevent buildup and help maintain their shine.
- Avoid Impact: Although diamonds are incredibly strong, they can chip or crack if subjected to a hard impact. Be mindful when wearing your diamond jewelry, especially during physical activities.
- Regular Inspection: Have your diamond jewelry professionally inspected to ensure the prongs or settings are secure and the diamond remains in place.
By following these care tips, your gold and diamond jewelry will retain its brilliance, beauty, and value for many years to come.
