Jewellery Care & Materials
At Xhuba Gallery, we offer a curated collection of artisan-crafted jewellery — from silver botanical pieces to bold, sculptural works that fuse hand-carved wood and sterling silver.
Each wood and silver piece is one of a kind, shaped by the hands of skilled artisans. Each carries a story. And each deserves care.
✦ Materials & Variations
- Our jewellery is crafted from .925 sterling silver.
- Select pieces feature natural stones, enamel, or hand-carved wooden elements.
- Sculptural wood pieces are individually carved and painted, resulting in variations in shape, grain, and detail — a hallmark of true craftsmanship.
- Botanical silver pieces may vary slightly in tone or stone due to material availability, but follow a consistent design.
- Images shown are for reference — exact pieces may differ slightly due to their handcrafted nature.
✦ How to Care for Your Jewellery
To preserve the integrity and appearance of your jewellery, we recommend:
▸ Avoid Moisture
Do not wear jewellery while swimming, showering, or washing hands — especially pieces with wooden components.
Water may cause warping, cracking, or dulling of wood and enamel surfaces.
▸ Avoid Chemicals
Remove jewellery before applying perfume, lotions, or household cleaners.
Chemicals can tarnish silver and damage organic materials.
▸ Store Thoughtfully
Keep pieces in a dry, shaded place.
Use a soft pouch or box to prevent scratching and humidity damage — especially for items with painted wood or delicate detailing.
▸ Clean Gently
Polish silver with a soft jewellery cloth.
Avoid commercial dips or harsh silver polish on jewellery that includes wood, enamel, or natural stones.
✦ A Note on Wear
Each piece is made with care and intention. We recommend removing your jewellery before exercise, sleep, or strenuous activity to preserve its condition.
Care Instructions for Artworks & Sculptures
To maintain the beauty and longevity of your artwork, please follow these general care guidelines:
- Avoid direct sunlight: UV exposure can fade colours and damage natural materials over time.
- Keep in a stable, dry environment: Fluctuations in temperature or humidity can affect the structure and surface of many materials.
- Handle with care: Whether carved, painted, or cast, each piece is crafted by hand and should be moved or cleaned with gentleness.
- Avoid contact with water, solvents, or abrasive materials: Use a dry soft cloth for light dusting when needed.

Maria Bayardo
María Bayardo is a artist who channels emotion, freedom, and self-discovery into powerful, dynamic forms. Her sculptures, often depicting women emerging from adversity, explore the intersection of strength and vulnerability. Drawing on geometric shapes and futuristic influences, she creates pieces that are both structural and sensual, capturing movement and life.
Bayardo’s work is a reflection of her own journey—integrating past, present, and future—and speaks to the universal experiences of pain, love, joy, and freedom. Each piece invites the viewer to connect with the emotional depth and shared humanity expressed through her art.
Her works have been showcased in prestigious galleries across Mexico, Italy, Spain, Belgium, France, New York, and London, as well as in prominent public spaces and cultural landmarks, where they continue to inspire and engage audiences. Each of her sculptures has earned international recognition reflecting her distinctive style and emotional depth.
