Jewelry & Watch Care

Simple habits that keep your Merca pieces bright, comfortable, and ready to wear every day.

Made for real life

All our jewelry is tested for extended wear. Created with 18k gold plating infused on a stainless-steel base, pieces are durable — and still benefit from a little care.

Good to know

A quick overview of how your pieces are made and how they age.

  1. Built to last

    Every piece is tested for everyday wear. Our 18k gold plating sits on a stainless-steel base for strength and lasting colour.

  2. Metals need care

    All metals naturally oxidize over time. A little maintenance keeps your Merca pieces looking their best for longer.

  3. Water-friendly, with limits

    You can wear them in water, but skip the ocean and chlorine pools to protect the plating and finish.

Cleaning instructions

Gentle cleaning is enough for gold-plated jewelry and watches.

  1. Wipe gently

    Lightly wipe your jewelry with a soft cloth to remove oils, lotions, and everyday residue from the surface.

  2. Use your Merca cloth

    Each purchase includes a jewelry cleaning cloth. Use it to polish and bring back the shine of your pieces.

  3. Skip harsh cleaners

    Do not use harsh cleaners or chemicals that are not made specifically for gold-plated jewelry.

What to avoid

These small changes make a big difference over time.

Perfumes & lotions

Do not spray perfume directly onto your jewelry. Keep pieces away from lotions, body sprays, and hairspray. Put jewelry on after your beauty routine.

Humid storage

Do not store jewelry in high-moisture rooms like bathrooms. A dry, cool place (or a pouch) is better.

Ocean & chlorine

Our pieces can handle water, but we recommend not wearing them in the ocean or chlorine pools.

Rough treatment

Avoid tossing pieces loosely with other metal items that can scratch or tangle chains and clasps.

Tip: put on jewelry last — after perfume, lotion, and hairspray — so chemicals don’t sit on the plating all day.
