Our jewellery is either made of 100% recycled sterling silver or hypoallergenic stainless steel. 
All our gold items are carefully double-plated with 18K gold.

As it’s certainly understandable to wear your TEKLA Jewellery all the time and get carried away, we recommend removing it when doing any of the following activities excessively or at least limiting it:

• when showering, swimming and exercising and sporting activities.
• avoid interaction with harsh chemicals found in pools, spas and cleaning products.
• in the gym - be careful when gripping dumbbells, barbells or machinery as it may cause scratches

Unfortunately, no matter how careful we are with our beloved pieces, they are made to be worn and when worn things happen, it is completely normal for some scratches to appear over your item's lifetime.

Last little note: it’s completely natural for sterling silver by exposure to air to oxidize and become darker over time. To keep your pieces in optimal condition for as long as possible we recommend;

• cleaning your items regularly with a jewellery cloth 
• and storing your jewellery best air sealed and not in direct sunlight.
