<h2 data-start="81" data-end="129" id="isPasted">Can I swim and shower with Maitea jewelry?</h2>Most Maitea pieces are designed to stay with you through daily life &#x2014; no need to take them off.You can safely wear these while washing your hands, showering, swimming in the sea or pool and even working out at the gym. One exception: Gold-coated 925 sterling silver is not fully waterproof. Silver itself can&#x2019;t be sealed with gold in a completely waterproof way. That&#x2019;s why we recommend taking these pieces off when washing your hands, showering, or sweating a lot.We still make them extra durable by using a thick gold coating plus a protective layer &#x2014; so with a little care, they&#x2019;ll stay beautiful for a long time. <h2 data-start="299" data-end="494" id="isPasted">Other things you might be asking</h2><a href="https://help.maitea.de/en-US/what-happens-if-my-jewelry-tarnishes-2476211">What happens if my jewelry tarnishes?</a>

If your Maitea jewelry shows signs of tarnish, here’s how to care for it, when to clean it, and how our warranty can help.

<h2 data-start="110" data-end="355" id="isPasted">Maitea pieces are made to last and stay beautiful for many years ahead.</h2>Please refer to our warranty and product information below to see whether your piece can simply be cleaned from tarnish &#x2014; or if you might be eligible for a warranty claim.<h2 data-start="357" data-end="646" id> </h2><h2 data-start="357" data-end="646" id="pieces-made-of-maitea-medical-grade-stainlesssteel">Pieces made of Maitea Medical Grade Stainless&#xA0;Steel</h2>Our medical grade stainless steel is the cleanest grade and highest quality, in both silver and gold tones. It&#x2019;s the most reliable material for jewelry. With normal care (avoiding harsh chemicals or extreme exposure), it can last a lifetime.All of our medical grade&#xA0;stainless&#xA0;steel pieces come with a two-year warranty against tarnishing, corrosion, or fading. If something happens within that time, we&#x2019;ll happily replace your piece or send you a new one &#x2014; no questions asked. <h2 data-start="872" data-end="1275" id="pieces-made-of-maitea-925-sterling-silver">Pieces made of Maitea 925 Sterling Silver</h2>925 sterling silver doesn&#x2019;t change color, but like all real silver it can develop a light patina over time or when exposed to humidity or acidity. That&#x2019;s nothing to worry about &#x2014; it&#x2019;s completely normal and can easily be cleaned with a silver cloth. If you&#x2019;re nearby, we also offer a free jewelry cleaning service in our&#xA0;<a href="https://share.google/pTUlzWO7PAGlNG6Ru">Maitea Store</a> in Berlin, Friedrichshain. <h2 data-start="69" data-end="356" id="isPasted">Pieces made of Maitea Gold-Coated 925 Silver</h2>This is the one material that needs a little extra care. Gold coated silver can&#x2019;t be made fully waterproof, which means the gold layer will slowly wear down over time and reveal the silver base - that&#x2019;s expected.To help you care for these pieces properly, we provide a clear Material &amp; Product Care Guide with every order and in-store purchase, and we explain this to every customer who buys this beautiful material. The most important thing to remember: gold-coated silver is not waterproof. Please keep it away from water, sweat, and humidity to make sure it lasts as long as possible.We use a thick gold coating plus an extra protective layer, so with the right care, these pieces will still stay beautiful for a long time. <h2 data-start="1716" data-end="1984" id="want-to-make-a-warranty-claim">Want to make a warranty claim?</h2>If you&#x2019;d like to make a warranty claim, simply email us at <a data-start="1794" data-end="1811" rel="noopener">support@maitea.de</a> with your proof of purchase, a short description, and a few photos.
