Jewellery Care Guide
Everything you need to know to care for your Mannash jewellery — so it stays as beautiful as the day you first wore it.
Simple habits that keep all your Mannash pieces looking their best — easy to follow, big difference in the long run.
Your cloth is specially treated with a silver-safe cleaning compound. Use it for all 925 silver pieces — including silver-base of gold plated pieces on unplated areas.
Take off the jewellery and lay it on a clean soft surface. Hold the piece at its edge — avoid touching gemstones or decorative surfaces with bare hands.
Using the lighter-coloured side of the cloth, stroke gently in one direction — don't scrub in circles. Follow the grain of the metal. For intricate areas, fold the cloth to a point.
As the cloth removes tarnish it will turn grey or black. This is the silver sulphide being lifted from your piece. Don't wash the cloth — the treatment is in the fibres. A darkened cloth still works.
Once the piece looks bright, pop it into the zip lock bag that came with your order and seal it. Keeping air out is the simplest way to slow tarnishing and lock in the shine between wears.
Different articles wear differently. Here's what to watch for with each type.
Clean the post and butterfly clasp weekly — bacteria accumulate here. For hoops, wipe the full ring. Check the clasp tension monthly and reshape gently if needed. Never yank earrings out — always open the clasp first.
Shop Earrings →Rings endure the most contact with everyday surfaces. Remove before washing hands, applying lotion and doing the dishes. Check the setting (the part holding a stone) every few months — if it wobbles, get it checked before the stone falls out.
Shop Rings →Clasp the chain before storing to prevent tangling. Lay flat or hang individually. For intricate chains, use a soft toothbrush dipped in warm soapy water, then rinse and dry completely. Twisted or kinked chains can snap — never force them.
Shop Necklaces →Charm bracelets need extra attention — clean between links with a soft brush. Adjustable bracelets: don't open and close them repeatedly, as this weakens the metal at the adjustment point. Bangles can be stored stacked in a fabric pouch.
Shop Bracelets →Anklets are exposed to more sweat, friction, and dust than other jewellery. Wipe down daily. Remove before outdoor walks in dust or rain. Check the clasp weekly — ankle movement puts more stress on clasps than wrist or neck pieces.
Shop Anklets →Our 99.9% pure silver coins are crafted from the finest silver available. They're beautiful as keepsakes, gifts, or investments. Store your coin in the capsule it comes in, and keep it in a cool, dry place. If you ever want to clean it, a gentle rinse with distilled water followed by air drying is all it needs. Skip the polishing cloth on coins — a soft, dry cotton cloth or just the rinse works perfectly. That's really it.
Shop Coins →Worn daily, mangalsutras need regular attention. Wipe the beads with a dry cloth and polish the pendant gently with your polishing cloth. Check the thread monthly — if it feels loose or shows fraying, have it re-strung before it breaks. Store laid flat, never coiled tightly.
Shop Mangalsutra →Not at all — this is natural tarnishing and is completely reversible. Silver reacts with sulphur in the air to form a black layer (silver sulphide). Your Mannash polishing cloth will remove it quickly. For heavier tarnish, a 5-minute soak in warm water with mild soap followed by gentle brushing will restore the shine fully.
No — do not wash the polishing cloth. The cleaning compound is embedded in the fibres and washing will remove it entirely, turning the cloth into a regular fabric with no polishing properties. The cloth turning grey or black is a sign it's working. Replace it only when it stops restoring shine even after multiple uses.
We strongly advise against it. Toothpaste contains micro-abrasives that scratch the silver surface, and most formulations contain fluoride which can pit the metal over time. While it may seem to work initially, repeated use causes surface scratches that trap more tarnish. Use your Mannash polishing cloth instead — it's designed specifically for this.
Polish the silver setting gently with your cloth, keeping the cloth away from the stone itself. Most stones used in Mannash jewellery (cubic zirconia, synthetic stones, enamel) can be gently wiped with a damp cloth. Avoid soaking pieces with stones — water can seep under settings and loosen them over time. When in doubt, dry clean only.
It's simpler than you'd think. Keep the coin in the capsule it comes with and store it somewhere cool and dry — that's 90% of the care sorted. If you'd like to clean it, a gentle rinse with distilled water and air drying is all it needs. Some natural toning over time is completely normal and doesn't affect the coin's quality or value. No special tools or products required.
We recommend removing jewellery before showering. Soap, shampoo, and shower gel contain chemicals and surfactants that dull silver over time. Hot water speeds up tarnishing. Most importantly — plated jewellery (gold, rose gold) loses its finish significantly faster with regular exposure to shower water. A simple habit of leaving jewellery on your dressing table before a shower adds years to its life.
