Every Maraux piece is crafted from solid sterling silver, with our gold pieces finished in a thick layer of 18k gold vermeil. This combination gives each piece a rich, enduring glow that outlasts regular plated jewellery.

Gold plated jewellery is like a fleeting crush — pretty, but short-lived. Gold vermeil is a lasting romance. It uses a thick coating of real 18k gold pressure-bonded to genuine sterling silver (never brass, copper or steel), offering depth, durability and timeless beauty.

Because we believe jewellery should last longer than a trend. Sterling silver is a precious metal — durable, elegant and naturally hypoallergenic. It won't peel, flake or leave green marks on your skin the way plated costume jewellery can. It's an investment in lasting style, not fast fashion.

Absolutely. Our jewellery is nickel-free and hypoallergenic, making it well suited to sensitive skin and first piercings.

Solid gold is pure luxury; gold vermeil is smart luxury. You get the same brilliant 18k gold finish, layered over sterling silver, at a far more accessible price.

With a little care, gold vermeil holds its glow beautifully — the thick 18k layer over sterling silver is built for longevity. Like all fine silver, it can tarnish gently over time; this is normal, and a soft polish restores the shine completely. Avoid direct contact with perfume, alcohol-based products, mineral spas and lotions.

Your pieces are water-resistant and fine for everyday life, including the occasional shower. We do recommend removing them before swimming, chlorinated pools, mineral hot springs, and before applying perfumes, lotions or cleaning products. These wear down any gold finish over time.

Yes — our jewellery is designed for real life. Dressed up or entirely casual, it's made to be worn rather than saved for special occasions.

Store your pieces in their Maraux box, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Avoid contact with perfume and harsh chemicals, and give them a gentle polish with a soft cloth when needed.

Our rings are listed in US sizes, the most widely used standard in jewellery. If you know your Australian or UK letter size, our Ring Size Chart converts it for you.

The most reliable method is millimetres. Measure straight across the inside of a ring that already fits, then match that number to the diameter column on the size chart — letter-to-number conversions vary between jewellers, but millimetres never do.

If you'd rather be certain, we'll post you a free ring sizing kit — no charge and no postage cost. Order it like any other product and we'll dispatch it the next business day. If you're still unsure, email hello@maraux.com.au and we'll help you work it out before you buy.

Our Perfect Fit Promise: if the size isn't right, we'll exchange it and cover the postage both ways. Get in touch within 14 days and send it back unworn apart from trying it on. There's no cost to you.

We'd still rather you got it right first time — so order our free sizing kit before you buy, or come and be sized in person at the Daylesford Sunday Market.
