The primary and most effective way to maintain your jewelry’s brilliant luster is regular polishing with a specialized silver polishing cloth. Treated with micro-cleaning agents, a premium silver cloth instantly lifts tarnish, skin oils, and environmental haze from sterling silver without the need for harsh chemicals or messy pastes.

1. How to Use: Gently buff the silver surfaces using light, straight strokes. You will notice dark marks transferring onto the cloth—this is a normal sign that the formula is actively removing silver sulfide and restoring the metal's mirror-like finish.
2. Caring for the Larimar: Focus the treated polishing cloth specifically on the silver settings, bails, and frameworks. the Larimar is durable, but avoid aggressively rubbing treated silver cloths across the gemstone itself. Instead, use a clean, untreated microfiber section of the cloth to gently wipe the Larimar cabochon clean.

Over time, everyday life—sand, lotion, dust, and natural oils—can build up in the tight crevices, bezel settings, and under-gallery of your piece. When a dry wipe is no longer enough to break down this accumulated grime, a targeted warm-water soak and gentle brushing will safely restore its original clarity.

Prepare the Basin: Fill a small bowl with warm (lukewarm, never boiling) water and add 2–3 drops of gentle, phosphate-free dish soap.

Soak to Loosen Buildup: Submerge your jewelry for 10 to 15 minutes. The warm soapy bath gently dissolves hardened oils, lotion residue, and trapped dirt hiding beneath the stone setting.

Detail the Crevices: Take an extra-soft baby toothbrush and carefully brush the silver settings, filigree, and under-gallery where dirt likes to collect. Use feather-light, circular motions to sweep away remaining debris.

Rinse Completely: Flush the piece thoroughly under clean, lukewarm running water to wash away all soap residue. (Always make sure the sink plug is securely closed first!)

Complete Drying: Gently pat the piece dry with a soft, lint-free towel. Lay your jewelry flat on a clean cloth in a well-ventilated area for 30 minutes to ensure any moisture trapped behind the Larimar setting evaporates completely before giving it a quick wipe with your silver polishing cloth and then store it in an airtight pouch.

When regular wiping and polishing cloths aren't quite enough to lift heavy, set-in tarnish, you can safely refresh your piece using a simple method with everyday household ingredients. This technique creates a gentle electrolytic reaction that dislodges stubborn tarnish and leaves your Marahlago jewelry clean and shiny again. Rest assured, this specific method is completely safe—it will not harm the delicate surface of your Larimar, pearls, accent stones, or the intentional oxidized finishes of our vintage styles.

What You Will Need:

A small bowl

1 sheet of tinfoil

1 teaspoon of baking soda

1 teaspoon of white salt

1/4 cup of white vinegar

1/2 cup of boiling water

Your Marahlago polishing cloth

The Process

1. Prepare the Basin: Line the bottom of your small bowl with the tinfoil, ensuring the shiny side is facing up. Add the baking soda and white salt.
2. Activate the Solution: Slowly pour in the white vinegar. Wait for the natural fizzing to subside, making sure all the granules are fully dissolved (it is perfectly fine to add an extra splash of vinegar to help with this). Next, pour the boiling water into the bowl—it is very important that the water is boiling to ensure the reaction works.
3. Soak & React: Place your Marahlago jewelry into the bowl. You must ensure that the silver is in direct contact with the aluminum foil so the electrolytic reaction can take place. Let the jewelry sit for several minutes, then flip the piece over and leave it to sit on that side for a few more minutes.
4. Rinse & Finish: Remove the jewelry and rinse it thoroughly under tap water. Gently wipe the piece dry with an absorbent towel. Finally, give it a quick polish with your Marahlago polishing cloth. Any remaining tarnish that did not transfer to the foil will now be very easy to remove, restoring your piece to its brilliant original shine.
5. Pro-Tip for Heavily Tarnished Pieces: If your jewelry has long-standing, stubborn oxidation, you may need to repeat this process a couple of times. For the best results on deeply tarnished silver, discard the spent solution, replace the tinfoil with a fresh sheet, and mix a brand-new batch of hot solution so the reaction has maximum potency.
