BY MATERIAL
Care by material.
Moonaire jewellery uses sterling silver, 18K gold plating, cubic zirconia, pearls, and natural crystals — each with its own care needs.
Sterling Silver
Moonaire uses 925 sterling silver, composed of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% alloy for strength and durability. Sterling silver is suitable for everyday wear, but like all precious metals it benefits from proper care.
To maintain its shine: gently polish with a soft, lint-free jewellery cloth; store in a dry place, ideally with an anti-tarnish tab or pouch; avoid exposure to perfume, deodorant, lotions, hairspray, and fake tan; remove jewellery before swimming or showering, as chlorine and chemicals may accelerate tarnishing.
Avoid harsh chemical cleaners unless they are specifically designed for sterling silver.
18K Gold-Plated Jewellery
Moonaire’s gold-plated pieces are crafted with a sterling silver or stainless-steel base and finished with a delicate layer of 18K gold plating. With thoughtful care, your jewellery will maintain its warm golden glow for longer.
Care tips: keep dry and store in a cool, low-humidity environment; use a soft pouch or lined jewellery box to prevent friction and scratches; avoid contact with perfume, lotions, hairspray, cosmetics, and cleaning products; remove jewellery before showering, swimming, or exercising.
Cleaning: after wearing, gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth to remove oils and residue; avoid abrasive materials, silver polish, or strong cleaning agents; if necessary, lightly wipe with a cloth dampened with lukewarm water, then dry thoroughly. Rotating your jewellery pieces can help reduce natural wear over time.
White Cubic Zirconia
Moonaire uses high-quality cubic zirconia stones, selected for their clarity and brilliance. Although lab-created, they beautifully reflect light in a way similar to natural diamonds.
To maintain their sparkle: wipe gently with a soft cloth after wearing; avoid prolonged exposure to water or chemicals; store separately to prevent scratches.
Freshwater Pearls & Shell Pearls
Freshwater pearls and shell pearls are delicate, organic gems that require gentle care to maintain their natural lustre.
To protect their beauty: put pearl jewellery on last and remove it first; avoid contact with cosmetics, oils, perfumes, and hairspray; do not wear pearls in water or during heavy perspiration; store separately in a soft pouch or lined jewellery box.
After wearing, wipe pearls with a soft dry cloth to remove body oils. If deeper cleaning is needed, use mild soap with warm water, rinse gently, and allow them to dry flat on a soft towel. Never use ultrasonic cleaners or harsh chemicals on pearls.
Natural Crystals
Many Moonaire designs feature natural crystals and minerals. Because they are formed by nature, subtle variations in colour, inclusions, or texture are part of their authenticity and beauty.
Some crystals may fade or become damaged when exposed to prolonged sunlight. To preserve their colour and energy, avoid extended exposure to direct sunlight.
Crystals known to be sensitive to sunlight include: Amethyst, Aquamarine, Celestite, Citrine, Fluorite, Kunzite, Opal, Rose Quartz, Smoky Quartz, Turquoise.
Crystal care tips: avoid prolonged direct sunlight; moonlight is often a gentler alternative for cleansing or charging crystals; if placing crystals near sunlight, choose indirect or shaded light; clean gently with a soft, dry cloth and avoid soaking or chemical cleaners.
Adjustable Chain Slider
Some Moonaire necklaces feature an adjustable slider.
To adjust the length: hold the slider ball firmly with one hand; gently pull the chain with the other hand until the desired length is reached.
Use the lobster clasp for daily wear and removal. Frequent repositioning of the slider may cause gradual wear over time, which is normal.
