Product Care:
-
Can I swim and shower with Maitea jewelry?
If it’s stainless steel, gold-coated stainless steel or 925 Sterling silver then yes, you can! These pieces are sweat-resistant, making them the perfect companion for your gym sessions and active lifestyle.
-
What happens if my jewelry tarnishes?
This depends on the material – you can check what material your jewelry is made of in its product description and your order confirmation.
Gold-coated silver jewelry:
This material is not waterproof. Even if you treat it with care, it will always return to silver at some point! This is a normal trait of gold-coated silver jewelry. Because of this, our warranty doesn’t cover gold-coated silver jewelry turning silver.
What we can guarantee: it will never turn black, green, or pink.
Treat your gold-coated silver jewelry with care and its gold coating will last longer.
We tell you exactly how to do that in our product care instructions we send you by email!
Maitea 925 Silver:
This material does not change color.
It might tarnish slightly after a few years or when exposed to salt and humidity for extended periods.
But this isn’t a problem because you can always clean silver jewelry to make it look brand new again.
Read more about how to clean your silver jewelry in Maitea Academy page.
Maitea Steel and gold-coated steel jewelry:
With this jewelry, you’re covered with a two-year warranty against tarnishing, corrosion, and color fading.
But from our experience, it’ll last way longer than just two years. Rest assured, your steel jewelry will be with you for a very long time!
In case your steel jewelry tarnishes, please don’t hesitate to contact us

-
Are Maitea's products hypoallergenic (allergy-free)?
