Maresi Jewelry is proud to use high-quality materials in all our pieces. Our designs feature combinations of sterling silver, natural stones (such as semi-precious gems or beads), woven beads (colorful glass or ceramic beads woven into patterns), and durable clay elements. All metal components are nickel-free and safe for sensitive skin. We carefully select materials that are both beautiful and long-lasting, so you can enjoy your jewelry for years. The Mediterranean-inspired designs often incorporate natural textures and colors, giving each piece a unique character.

Yes! Every Maresi Jewelry piece is handcrafted. Our artisans hand-assemble and finish each item with care, inspired by Mediterranean craftsmanship and design motifs. Because they are handmade (rather than mass-produced), you may notice tiny variations or nuances that make your piece truly one-of-a-kind. We believe this hand-touch gives our jewelry a special warmth and authenticity. Despite being handmade, every item goes through quality checks to ensure it meets our standards before we ship it to you.

With a little care, your Maresi jewelry will stay beautiful. We recommend the following care tips to keep your pieces in great condition:

Avoid Water & Chemicals: Remove your jewelry before swimming, bathing, or exercising. Also avoid direct contact with perfumes, lotions, or household cleaners, as these can tarnish silver or damage beads and clay.

Store Properly: When you’re not wearing your jewelry, store it in a dry, cool place. Ideally, keep it in the pouch or box that came with your order. Storing each piece separately can prevent scratches or tangling.

Clean Gently: For silver parts, if they begin to dull or tarnish, gently polish them with a soft jewelry polishing cloth. Do not use harsh abrasives. For pieces with beads or stones, simply wipe them with a soft, dry cloth to remove any oils or dirt.

Handle with Care: Our jewelry is made to be worn daily, but please handle with care. The woven beads and clay components can chip or crack if dropped on a hard surface. Put on jewelry after dressing to avoid snagging on clothing.


Following these tips will help preserve the finish and integrity of your handcrafted pieces.

It’s not recommended to wear your Maresi jewelry in the shower, pool, or ocean. Water, especially chlorinated or salty water, can accelerate tarnishing of silver and may weaken or discolor the woven beads and clay elements over time. A quick exposure (like getting caught in rain) likely won’t ruin your jewelry, but repeated exposure to water or chemicals will degrade the materials faster. To be safe, always remove your jewelry before bathing or swimming. This will keep it looking its best.

Our metal components are primarily sterling silver or are quality plated metals, which means they can tarnish slowly over time if exposed to air and moisture (this is a natural property of silver). Tarnish might appear as a slight darkening on silver surfaces – it can be easily cleaned with a polishing cloth. As for our beads and stones, they generally do not change color, but to keep them vibrant, avoid harsh chemicals and prolonged sun exposure. If cared for properly (see care tips above), your Maresi jewelry should remain shiny and beautiful. If you ever have a question about cleaning your piece, contact us and we’ll be happy to help.

Each Maresi Jewelry piece is handmade and often uses natural materials, so there can be very slight variations from the photos on our website. For example, the exact pattern of beads or the shade of a natural stone might vary because no two stones are identical. These small differences are part of what makes your piece unique! However, the overall design, size, and quality will match the photos and description. We do our best to photograph items to accurately represent what you’ll receive. If you feel the difference is significant or you’re unhappy with your item, please let us know and we will make it right.

At this time, we do not offer custom design services or personalized engravings. Our focus is on our curated collection of designs inspired by Mediterranean art and culture. That said, we love feedback and suggestions! If there’s a particular style or idea you’d like to see in the future, feel free to share it with us. We continually update our collections and your input helps. For now, we hope you find something in our existing collection that speaks to you.
