Jewellery Care — Why STAVR Won't Tarnish, Fade or Turn You Green
STAVR jewellery is made to be worn every day and built to last. Here's why it holds up — and the few simple things that keep it looking its best.
Why it won't tarnish or turn your skin green
Every piece is crafted from 316L surgical stainless steel — the same grade used in medical implants. It's corrosion-resistant, hypoallergenic and contains no reactive copper at the surface, so it won't tarnish, rust or leave a green mark on your skin. Our gold pieces use 18K gold PVD, which bonds the gold colour to the steel for a finish that resists scratching and fading for years (not the months you get from cheap plating).

Waterproof & sweatproof
You can shower, swim, train and sleep in your STAVR jewellery. It's fully waterproof and sweatproof — no need to take it off.
How to care for it
- Wipe occasionally with a soft, dry cloth to keep it gleaming.
- For a deeper clean, use warm water with a little mild soap, then dry fully with a soft cloth.
- Store pieces separately so they don't scratch each other — a travel box is ideal.
- Avoid harsh chemicals like bleach or strong solvents.
