Materials

Each piece of Monies jewellery carries its own story. From the slow formation of the earth’s minerals to the moment a stone is discovered and brought into our workshop, the design unfolds with contemplation, admiration, and deep respect for the material.

We source, design, and assemble each piece individually, working with precious and semi-precious stones, ancient fossils, amber, and rare woods, always choosing materials for their character and presence.

Their innate beauty is revealed through bold forms that preserve an authentic, almost untouched quality.

Our jewellery invites humility, and offers perspective in return.

We come and go; they remain, as they have since the beginning of our time.


Care

Care guide
As longevity is influenced by material and wear, we recommend the following care to maintain your Monies jewellery over time.

General
Avoid spraying perfume or applying creams and other liquids directly onto jewellery.
Remove jewellery before bathing, swimming in salt or chlorinated water, and before exercise.
Avoid impact and abrasion against hard surfaces.

Storage
Keep jewellery away from direct sunlight, humidity, and extreme temperatures. Store each piece separately in a soft pouch and original box. For sterling silver, include an anti-tarnish strip. Avoid storing jewellery in bathrooms.

Cleaning
Wipe gently after wear with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use only a soft slightly damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals, solvents, ultrasonic or steam cleaners, or hot water.

Maintenance
Elastics, cord and clips will become looser after years of regular use. Both can be tightened or alternatively replaced with new ones. Silicone pads for earclips can easily be replaced with new ones if needed or lost.

Gold- and metallic foils
Avoid water exposure. Moisture can make the foil porous, and regular contact with skin or liquids may lead to oxidation over time. Keep away from perfumes, lotions, and cleaning agents.

Pearls
Wear pearls regularly to maintain their natural glow. Keep them dry and away from perfume and hairspray. After wear, wipe gently with a soft cloth and store flat in a pouch.

Gemstones
Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after wear and store pieces separately to prevent scratching.
Softer or porous stones (e.g., tourmaline, opal, turquoise, malachite, lapis) are especially sensitive. Avoid ultrasonic or steam cleaning and prolonged moisture. Natural variations, inclusions, and colour differences are part of the material’s character.

Leather and wood
As natural materials, leather and wood evolve over time: colours deepen, surfaces soften, and character matures. Keep these materials away from water, heat, and prolonged sun. To refresh the surface, use a tiny amount of neutral lotion free from alcohol and perfume, then wipe with a soft cloth. Avoid oils or lotions near threads, metallic foils, or elastic.

Sterling silver
Use a high-quality silver polishing cloth. Silver naturally oxidises and darkens if not polished regularly. Store separately with an anti-tarnish strip, and avoid liquid silver dips, especially near other materials as pearls, gemstones, wood, or bone.

Bone
Cow bone can gradually absorb natural skin oils and creams and develop a soft honey-gold tone. This patina is normal and part of the material’s beauty. Keep bone dry and out of direct sun.
