Piercing Guide
Does Monisha Melwani Jewelry offer a piercing guide?
At the moment, we don't provide a piercing guide, but we're happy to answer any questions about our jewelry that may be used for piercings. Contact us at hello@monishamelwani.com.
What types of jewelry do you recommend for new piercings?
We suggest using specific materials for new piercings; contact us for advice.
How do I know which type of jewelry is best for my new piercing?
Choosing the right jewelry depends on the piercing type and location, as well as individual healing times. We recommend starting with hypoallergenic materials like titanium or 14k gold which are less likely to cause reactions.
What aftercare should I follow for a new piercing?
Proper aftercare is crucial for healing. Clean your piercing twice a day with a saline solution and avoid touching it with unclean hands. Detailed aftercare instructions should be followed as advised by your piercing professional.
How long does it take for a piercing to heal?
Healing times vary depending on the piercing location. Earlobe piercings may take 6-8 weeks, while cartilage piercings can take up to 6 months or longer. Follow care instructions until fully healed.
Can I change my piercing jewelry at home?
We recommend waiting until the piercing is fully healed before changing jewelry. For the first change, it might be best to return to your piercer to ensure it's done safely and to prevent injury or infection.
What signs of piercing infection should I watch for?
Signs of infection include excessive redness, swelling, pain, heat, or discharge. If you suspect an infection, consult a healthcare professional promptly for appropriate care.
Jewelry Care
How should I care for my Monisha Melwani Jewelry?
To maintain the beauty of your jewelry, avoid contact with water, lotions, and perfumes. Store in a dry place and polish with a soft cloth.

Can I wear my jewelry while swimming?
It's best to remove jewelry before swimming to avoid potential damage.
How can I prevent my jewelry from tarnishing?
To prevent tarnishing, store your jewelry in a dry, airtight container and avoid exposing it to humidity, chemicals, and cosmetics. Regularly polish your pieces with a soft cloth to maintain their shine.
Is it safe to clean my jewelry with household cleaners?
We advise against using harsh household cleaners on your jewelry as they can damage the surface. Instead, use a mild soap with lukewarm water or a professional jewelry cleaning solution designed for the specific metals and gemstones in your pieces.
Can I wear my jewelry to bed?
While sleeping with your jewelry on occasionally might not cause immediate damage, doing so regularly can lead to wear and tear over time. It's best to remove jewelry before bed to maintain its condition.
What is the best way to store my jewelry when I'm not wearing it?
Store your jewelry individually in soft pouches or lined jewelry boxes to prevent scratches and tangling. Keeping items separate also protects softer metals and gemstones from being scratched by harder ones.
How often should I have my jewelry professionally cleaned?
We recommend having your jewelry professionally cleaned and inspected at least once a year. This not only keeps it looking its best but also allows for the early detection of wear or damage that could lead to loss or further damage.
How should I clean gemstone jewelry to maintain its sparkle?
Gemstone jewelry requires special care. Clean your gemstone pieces with a soft, damp cloth after wearing to remove any oils or residues. For a deeper clean, use mild soap and lukewarm water, gently brushing with a soft brush, but ensure you know the gemstone's properties, as some stones are sensitive to water and chemicals. Always dry your gemstone jewelry thoroughly with a soft cloth before storing. For specific gemstone care instructions, consult a professional to avoid accidental damage.
