Care

How do I care for my Maximal Art jewelry?

We pride ourselves on offering a lot of look for a very reasonable price. That, in addition to the plated metals and the wide range of materials used, means that the jewelry should be treated with care and not worn every day, tempting as it is! By including our designs as part of your jewelry wardrobe, our pieces will last for many years. (Customers and friends regularly show off their ‘vintage’ pieces from the 80’s and 90’s, and they still look great)! Gentle aging and wear are a natural part of the process, and actually enhance the vintage look of the designs.

COTTON BALL PEARL CARE: The cotton ball pearls are really made out of cotton! While they are coated and lacquered, they are not meant for every-day wear, and they do not like water, makeup, perfumes, or hairspray...Think of them as special occasion pieces.

Jewelry should be stored in pouches or bags to keep the dust away. Silver-plated jewelry in particular should be stored in air-tight bags. If the silver tarnishes, use a dry 100% cotton cloth to wipe the piece clean. Using silver polish, water, or polishing cloths can actually break the sealing coat and will ultimately cause the piece to tarnish more. Perfume, hairspray and lotions can also harm. Make our jewelry the last thing you put on when you’re getting ready.

What are the materials used?

 We use a variety of materials. A few key ingredients are charms made of brass or pewter, chains made of brass, steel or aluminum, Austrian crystal, vintage charms, glass pearls, lacquered cotton ball pearls, rhinestones and resin. We use different plating finishes including sterling silver plate, 24K gold plate, and most recently antique bronze. The original parts, however, come from many places and from tools that have been in use for decades. Given that, a range of finishes (brightness, darkness, etc) is to be expected, and in fact is part of what makes JW/MA unique!

Can you repair my damaged item?

Our jewelry is made with the best quality because our jewelry is plated our pieces are meant to age gently with time. When treated with care your jewelry will last for years to come. However, our jewelry is sensitive to water, perfume, hairspray, etc. Aggressive handling of hinges and clasps could result in damages.  Should repairs be needed please contact info@maxiamlart.com.  If your jewelry has been damaged within a year of your purchase it will be repaired free of charge.  For items that were purchased over a year ago a repair fee will apply. Please include a receipt when sending items back for repair.
