Frequently asked questions

PRODUCT & MATERIALS

What materials are Mareas pieces made of?

Our pieces are crafted from 304 stainless steel and finished with 14k or 18k gold plating.

This combination creates jewelry that is durable, resistant to everyday wear, and designed to keep its beauty over time.

Each piece is made to accompany your daily rituals while maintaining its shine.

What does “water-resistant” jewelry mean?

Mareas jewelry is designed to handle everyday contact with water, such as washing your hands or getting caught in the rain.

However, to preserve the gold plating for as long as possible, we recommend avoiding frequent exposure to:

  • Perfumes
  • Lotions
  • Harsh chemicals
  • Pools or seawater

With proper care, your pieces will stay beautiful for years.

What is the gold plating used in Mareas jewelry?

Our jewelry is made from 304 stainless steel and finished with 14k or 18k gold plating.

The plating process bonds a thin layer of real gold onto the surface of the steel, giving each piece its rich golden color while keeping it strong and resistant to everyday wear.

Are your items made of solid gold or solid silver?

Our pieces are not solid gold or silver.

Instead, they are made from high-quality stainless steel and finished with 14k or 18k gold plating, allowing us to offer beautiful jewelry that is durable, accessible, and designed for everyday use.

Do your items contain nickel?

Our jewelry is designed to be skin-friendly and suitable for most people, including those with sensitive skin.

However, if you have extremely strong metal allergies, we recommend consulting your doctor before wearing any metal jewelry.

I have sensitive skin. Is Mareas jewelry suitable for me?

Yes, most of our customers with sensitive skin wear Mareas jewelry comfortably.

Because our pieces are made with stainless steel, they are generally considered more skin-friendly than many other base metals used in fashion jewelry.

Will your jewelry turn my skin green?

No.

Mareas jewelry is made from stainless steel, which does not react with skin the way cheaper metals can.

In rare cases, skin reactions can occur due to skin chemistry, sweat, or cosmetic products, but this is uncommon.

How should I clean my Mareas jewelry?

To keep your jewelry shining:

  • Wipe gently with your soft cloth included with your purchase
  • Store it in a dry place when not in use
  • Avoid direct contact with perfumes or chemicals

With simple care, your Mareas pieces will stay beautiful for a long time.

Can I send Mareas jewelry as a gift?

Absolutely.

Mareas pieces make beautiful gifts for special moments.

You can ship your order directly to the recipient, and every piece arrives in our signature packaging, ready to be gifted.

RING SIZE

How do I know my ring size?

You can use our Ring Size Guide to find the perfect fit for your Mareas piece.

Visit the guide here: Ring Sizes

It will help you measure your finger easily at home so your jewel fits perfectly into your ritual.

If I am between sizes, which size should I choose?

If you’re between sizes, we usually recommend choosing the larger size for a more comfortable fit.

If the ring feels slightly loose, you can easily adjust it with our Mareas Ring Adjuster Kit a simple, invisible solution that helps your ring fit perfectly without damaging the jewel.

Many customers add it to their order to make sure their ring fits every version of them.

What if my ring doesn’t fit?

If your ring doesn’t fit perfectly, don’t worry.

You can exchange it for another size (subject to availability), or you can use our Mareas Ring Adjuster Kit to slightly reduce the ring size for a comfortable fit.

Many customers add the adjuster to their order to make sure their ring fits perfectly.
