Keeping It Sharp

A little care goes a long way.

Every Moiré & Co piece is built to be worn every day — not saved for special occasions. Here's everything you need to know to keep it looking exactly like day one.

The Material

Every piece is made from 316L stainless steel — the same grade used in medical implants and marine hardware. It's naturally hypoallergenic, fully waterproof, and resistant to tarnish, rust, and discoloration under normal wear. It doesn't need to be treated delicately, but a few habits will help it last a lifetime.

Do's & Don'ts

✓ Do

Shower, swim, and sweat in it. 316L is fully waterproof — there's no need to take it off for daily life.

✓ Do

Wipe it down with a soft, dry cloth every so often to keep the shine up. No polish or special cleaner needed.

✕ Avoid

Prolonged contact with chlorine-heavy pools, hot tubs, or harsh cleaning chemicals — steel is tough, not indestructible.

✕ Avoid

Storing it tangled with other pieces. A simple pouch or box (like the one it arrived in) keeps chains snag-free.

Common Questions

Can I wear it in the shower or the pool?

Yes. 316L stainless steel is fully waterproof and won't corrode from regular water exposure, including salt water. For pools and hot tubs specifically, rinse it after a swim if you can — prolonged chlorine exposure over time can dull any metal's shine faster than fresh or salt water.

Will it turn my skin green or cause irritation?

No. 316L is hypoallergenic and nickel-safe, which is exactly why it's used in body jewelry and medical implants. It won't react with skin the way lower-grade alloys do.

How do I clean it if it looks a little dull?

A soft, dry or slightly damp cloth is all you need. Avoid abrasive cloths, jewelry dips, or ultrasonic cleaners not rated for stainless steel.
