WATERPROOF, TARNISH-RESISTANT JEWELRY CARE
Every Macaje piece is finished in rhodium-plated, tarnish-resistant gold- or silver-tone — designed to handle water, sweat and humidity without losing its shine.
Read below to learn a few simple habits that help your jewelry look its best for years to come.
1. HOW DO I STORE MY MACAJE JEWELRY?
Store each piece in its own pouch or compartment so it doesn't rub against other jewelry — friction is the most common cause of dulling and scratching.
Keep pieces in a cool, dry place. While Macaje's rhodium-plated finish resists tarnish far longer than untreated metal, prolonged humidity can still dull shine over time.
A gentle wipe with a soft, non-abrasive cloth every few weeks keeps every piece looking new.
2. CAN I WEAR MACAJE JEWELRY IN THE POOL OR OCEAN?
Yes. Macaje jewelry is built to be waterproof — you can shower, swim and sweat in it without worry.
For extra longevity in chlorinated or salt water, a quick rinse with clean water afterward and a gentle pat dry is good practice, though it isn't required.
3. CAN I SHOWER WEARING MY MACAJE JEWELRY?
Absolutely — that's exactly what it's designed for. Macaje's rhodium-plated, tarnish-resistant finish is made to handle daily showering, sweat and humidity without fading or irritating sensitive skin.
4. WHAT ELSE SHOULD I AVOID TO MAKE MY JEWELRY LAST?
Perfume, hairspray, body oils, suntan lotion and nail polish remover can dull any finish over time — ours included. Apply these before putting your jewelry on, not after.
Keep jewelry out of direct, prolonged sunlight, which can fade certain natural stones.
5. HOW DO I CLEAN MY MACAJE JEWELRY?
A soft, non-abrasive cloth is all most pieces need for routine care. For a deeper clean, use lukewarm water with a mild soap, then dry thoroughly before storing.
