JEWELRY CARE & MATERIALS
How do I care for my jewelry?
For general care practices, see our Jewelry Care page for more details on how to care for your Made by Mary jewelry.
For all other materials, please refer to the following articles.
How to care for Brass Hair Pieces
How to clean Sterling Silver Jewelry
How often should I clean my jewelry?
To care for your Made By Mary pieces, there are three things you should keep in mind:
1. Is your jewelry in contact with chemicals or other substances?
2. What residue stays on your jewelry for longer periods of time, or gets removed from cleaning?
3. And finally, how is your piece stored?
We recommend removing your Made By Mary pieces before activities that tend to come into contact with chemicals, like swimming, cleaning, gardening, and exercising, to name a few.
We also suggest removing your jewelry when using all types of beauty products, including lotions, perfumes, shampoos, hairspray, etc.
For regular cleaning, use warm water and a mild hand soap, gently rub the soap into the piece with your fingers, rinse, and pat dry with a soft cloth. When necessary, use the microfiber Restore Polishing Cloth. Wipe your piece gently to bring its original luster back and use sparingly for best effect.
What is gold filled?
Gold filled is a pressure bonded layer of gold that has 100 times more gold than plated jewelry. It is durable, won't chip or flake, is tarnish resistant, and is a great alternative to solid gold jewelry, at a much more reasonable price. It looks beautiful, and has a finish that will last years if cared for properly! Find out more about our different materials on our Jewelry Care page.
Does your jewelry contain nickel?
We are proud to say all MBM products are NICKEL-FREE!
HOW TO ORDER
How do I customize an order?
Made by Mary creates most of our pieces in house. For details on customization options, please refer to the product page for more details.
How do I find my perfect size?
Finding your perfect size can sometimes be tricky! We’ve done our best to put together a couple of articles to help you find the best size for you.
To find your perfect necklace length, refer to our Necklace sizing guide. Keep in mind that when purchasing a horizontal bar necklace, the length of the bar is included in the total length of the piece.
For information about finding your perfect ring size, please refer to our Ring Sizing Guide.
For more information about measuring your wrist or ankle, please refer to our Bracelet and Anklet sizing guide.
Can you stamp the back of a bar or disc?
We currently do not offer stamping on the back of our pieces. Hand stamping is a high impact process, and despite our substantial materials, as slight impression will show on the reverse side.
Can I order a piece with mixed metals?
We offer most of our pieces in Gold Filled, Rose Gold Filled, and Sterling Silver. We currently do not offer our bracelets, earrings, chokers, or necklaces to be assembled as a mixed metal set.
Can I include a gift message with my order?
You can add a gift message at checkout! Just check the Gift Message box at checkout and add your note!
Can I use more than one coupon code?
Only one coupon code can be used per order.

How it works:
1. Add items to your cart.

No, if you choose to pay in installments through Shop Pay, there will be no impact to your credit score. For Shop Pay installments, Affirm will not report to credit bureaus.
