    A Piece Woven Just For You

    At MANAMU, we believe that the true beauty of our collection lies in its origins. Every single piece is meticulously handcrafted by our skilled artisans, ensuring that no two are exactly alike.

    We celebrate these subtle variations—from a slight difference in thread tension to a unique curve in the metal—as the soul and character of the piece, not a defect. These distinct qualities are the authentic fingerprint of the artisan and a testament to the fact that your item was woven just for you.

    While we take immense care with our product photography to ensure the colors and details are accurately represented, please note that colors may appear slightly different on your screen due to individual display settings. We ensure that all product measurements are accurate, guaranteeing that the dimensions you order meet your needs. We guarantee the quality, the materials, and the story behind every treasure.

  • Care

    FOR STEEL PRODUCT

    Gentle Soap and Water : This is the safest method for regular cleaning.

    • Mix a small amount of mild dish soap with warm water.
    • Dip a soft cloth or a soft-bristled toothbrush in the solution.
    • Gently rub the Jewellery or Home Décor pieces to remove dirt and oils.
    • Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
    • Dry completely with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.

    FOR BRASS & COPPER PRODUCT (If tarnished)

    Lemon Juice and Baking Soda : This creates a gentle paste to remove tarnish.

    • Mix equal parts lemon juice and baking soda into a paste.
    • Apply the paste to the jewellery with a soft cloth or toothbrush.
    • Gently rub to remove tarnish. o Rinse thoroughly with warm water.
    • Dry completely and buff with a clean cloth to restore shine.

    White Vinegar : Another effective method for removing tarnish.

    • Soak the jewellery in a mixture of equal parts white vinegar and water for a few minutes.
    • Gently scrub with a soft brush if needed.
    • Rinse thoroughly with water.
    • Dry completely with a soft cloth.

    Important Notes :

    • Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Don’t use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the metal and the woven structure.
    • Avoid Over-Cleaning: Repeated boiling can damage some metals over time.
    • Test in an Inconspicuous Area: If using lemon juice or vinegar, test it on a small, hidden area first to ensure it doesn’t cause discoloration.
    • Dry Thoroughly: Always dry the jewellery completely to prevent tarnishing or water spots.
    • Storage: Store jewellery in a clean, dry place, preferably in a jewellery box or pouch, to minimize exposure to air and moisture.

    By following these tips, you can keep your MANAMU Jewellery or Home Décor pieces looking its best and preserve its beauty for years to come.
