Jewelry Care Guide: Keep Your MATZZO Brilliant

At MATZZO, we craft our jewelry using premium materials like Certified 925 Sterling Silver, 18K Gold plating, and high-grade 316L Stainless Steel. While our pieces are designed for the modern man’s lifestyle, proper care is the key to ensuring they maintain their original luster for a lifetime.

Follow this guide to protect your investment.


1. Material-Specific Care

  • 925 Sterling Silver: Silver naturally oxidizes over time when exposed to air and moisture. To prevent tarnishing, wear your silver pieces often (the oils in your skin actually help!) and store them in a dry, airtight place when not in use.

  • 18K Gold Plating: Our gold pieces feature a thick layer of 18K gold. To preserve the brilliance of the plating, avoid constant friction against hard surfaces and keep them away from harsh chemicals.

  • 316L Stainless Steel: This is our most durable material—water-resistant and tarnish-free. However, even steel can lose its shine if covered in dust or oils. A quick wipe is all it takes to restore its glow.


2. The Golden Rules of Longevity

To keep your jewelry looking brand new, follow these three rules:

  1. "Last On, First Off": Always put your jewelry on after applying cologne, hairspray, or lotions. Chemicals in these products can react with metals and degrade the plating.

  2. Avoid Chlorine & Saltwater: While our jewelry is water-resistant, prolonged exposure to chlorine (pools) or salt (ocean) can be abrasive. We recommend rinsing your pieces with fresh water after a swim.

  3. Sweat with Caution: Intense gym sessions can lead to sweat buildup. Wipe down your jewelry after a workout to remove salts and oils.


3. Cleaning & Storage

  • Cleaning: Use only a soft, lint-free cloth (like a microfiber cloth) to gently buff your jewelry. Never use paper towels or tissues, as they can cause micro-scratches. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners for plated items.

  • Storage: Store each piece separately in its original MATZZO pouch or a lined jewelry box. This prevents pieces from scratching each other and minimizes exposure to moisture.


4. Our Commitment

We stand behind our artisan craftsmanship. Every MATZZO piece is backed by our 2-Year Warranty. However, please note that the warranty does not cover damage caused by improper care, accidental breakage, or normal wear and tear of the plating due to chemical exposure.

Invest in your style. Treat your jewelry with respect, and it will stand the test of time.
