Care for Parts and Exchange/Return Policy
Care instructions for the pieces:
Oxidation (a natural process of silver) can be delayed and the life of silver plating extended by taking the following precautions:
- Avoid contact with abrasive products or situations, especially cosmetics, detergents, or perfumes;
- Avoid other situations that cause excessive wear and tear, which occur especially with rings and bracelets;
- Store the pieces in appropriate, sealed packaging to prevent the natural oxidation of the silver;
- Pack the parts carefully to avoid friction, ensuring that the wires remain closed and separated from each other;
- Sweat and chlorine do not contribute to the durability of the garments;
- Clean polished pieces occasionally with a cloth specifically for silver, and for gold-plated pieces, use a cloth specifically for gold-plated silver. For matte pieces, it is best to apply a liquid cleaner specifically for silver or gold-plated silver. We recommend Hagerty cloths or liquids ( hagertyportugal.com ).
The durability of the plating depends on how carefully you use and maintain your pieces.
Over time, the bath will fade. Whenever necessary, we can provide a new bath for a fee.

The exchange period is 30 days after the purchase date. The item must be returned in its original box and in perfect condition, along with the exchange receipt (essential for exchange purposes).

About Us
MARIA AVILLEZ JEWELLERY
Founded in Lisbon 18 years ago, at Maria Avillez Jewellery we design jewelry that inspires, enhances, and withstands the test of time. We want each piece to make you feel like the best version of yourself, every day.
The brand was born from a passion for design and the art of jewelry making, creating collections that combine Portuguese heritage with a modern and uncomplicated aesthetic. Each piece is designed to be part of your story and made to last.
MEET OUR FOUNDER
Born in Lisbon, but always dividing her time between the countryside and the city, Maria grew up surrounded by art and creativity. From an early age, she showed her own way of creating: with her hands, with instinct, and with a keen aesthetic sense.
She graduated in graphic design and lived in London and New York, where she continued to deepen her knowledge of design.
He entered the world of jewelry first as a hobby, for the pleasure of the manual work and the challenge it represented. Only later did he decide to transform this passion into a profession, with the goal of making a difference — distancing himself from traditional jewelry and establishing his own language of designer jewelry.
Passionate about travel and new cultures, she finds an inexhaustible source of inspiration in discovering the world . It is from this curiosity that her collections are born—jewels that are always current, created to inspire and accompany each person on their own journey.
Fascinated by large, striking pieces—which are part of her DNA and image—she also enjoys creating smaller, more versatile jewelry, perfect for everyday wear.
OUR MISSION
Since 2007, we have created jewelry with a simple purpose: to inspire confidence and make you feel good about yourself. We want our pieces to be worn every day — alone or combined with each other — always with the same lightness and versatility.
Design is at the heart of everything we do. Each piece is born from an in-house creative process: we design, explore, and refine until we arrive at a piece of jewelry that is simultaneously modern, timeless, and full of meaning.
We know that jewelry is something personal and emotional. That's why we put all our creativity and dedication into creating pieces that are not just accessories, but part of your story — to celebrate achievements, mark moments, and accompany you throughout life.
OUR PATH
We are aware of the future and want to grow responsibly. Our packaging is produced from recycled paper, and we are committed to taking consistent steps to integrate increasingly sustainable practices.
Our jewelry has won over its wearers through its combination of distinctive design, lasting quality, and fair price. We've grown thanks to this genuine connection—and most of the recognition comes from you, who share and give voice to our story.
