Mignon Faget Polishing Cloths and Mignon Faget Foaming Jewelry Cleaner are available through all Mignon Faget galleries and online. All repairs should be handled through Mignon Faget, Ltd. To keep your Mignon Faget jewelry in excellent condition Mignon recommends that you follow these instructions:
Mignon Faget designs are handcrafted in Precious and Semi-Precious materials, including but not limited to: Sterling Silver, 14K Yellow and Rose Gold, Rhodium Plated Sterling Silver, Gold Plated Sterling Silver, Gold Plated Base Metal, PVD, Bronze, Stainless Steel, Diamonds, Precious and Semi-Precious beads and cut stones, glass crystals and beads, Wood, Leather, and Fabric.
Silver and Gold have been used in Jewelry design for thousands of years due to their exceptional wearability. Exposure to air, excessive humidity, moisture, light and pollutants will cause your Sterling Silver jewelry to tarnish. Shiny finishes should be cleaned with a Mignon Faget polishing cloth. Matte and Penumbra finishes should be cleaned with a soft toothbrush and dry baking soda.
All Mignon Faget designs cast in Bronze are treated with an electroplated ceramic clear coating ("E-Coating") in order to protect the Bronze jewelry from chemical reactions and abrasions and help protect the skin from reaction. If properly cared for, Bronze jewelry with this coating will maintain its original color and finish for longer than untreated Bronze. This coating can be damaged or removed by harsh chemicals, cosmetics and solvents, and can also wear off if jewelry comes in contact with hard surfaces over time. Please follow all above jewelry care directives to maintain the life of your Bronze Mignon Faget jewelry.
Mignon Faget offers designs in both traditional goldplating and PVD plating. To extend the life of your plated jewelry, do not use a polishing cloth on these designs. Plating can be damaged or removed by harsh chemicals, cosmetics and solvents, and can also wear off if jewelry comes in contact with hard surfaces over time. Goldplated designs may require periodic replating, available through Mignon Faget, Ltd. for a nominal fee. Chains, Halo designs, and other PVD plated designs can not be replated.
Do not submerge beaded pieces in soapy water. This will harm the beading thread. Avoid exposure to chemicals such as hair spray, body lotions or perfumes. Mignon Faget suggests that necklaces and bracelets be stored flat. Hanging on a hook can stretch the thread. Mignon also recommends having pearls restrung periodically to avoid breakage. Beaded necklaces that are worn everyday should be restrung once a year. Restringing is available through Mignon Faget, Ltd. for a nominal fee.
Some stones are hand selected and custom cut. Special care should be taken not to damage the stones. Rings should be removed before washing hands, swimming, cleaning, gardening and heavy lifting.
Note: Mignon Faget uses hand-selected stones and beads, stone colors and beading material may vary based on availability. Each jewelry design is delicate, special care should be taken not to damage the stones.
