Our jewelry is made of stainless steel or 925 sterling silver, sometimes with a beautiful gold plating. It is durable, stylish and perfect for everyday wear. But what really happens when jewelry comes into contact with water?
Frequently asked questions about water-resistant jewelry
Is jewelry water resistant?
Yes, stainless steel and sterling silver jewelry can withstand everyday moisture such as rain or hand washing. However, we recommend that you remove gold-plated jewelry when swimming in the ocean, pool or shower to preserve the plating for as long as possible.
Can I swim with jewelry in the ocean or pool?
Salt water and chlorine can be harsh on gold plating. For best durability, it's a good idea to remove your jewelry before swimming.
How to keep your jewelry looking good for longer
- Remove the jewelry when showering, bathing and exercising.
- Avoid perfume, lotion and hair products directly on the jewelry.
- Wipe with a soft cloth after use.
- Store the jewelry dry, preferably in a jewelry bag or box.
Material guide: Stainless steel and sterling silver
Both stainless steel and sterling silver are popular materials for jewelry due to their durability, stylish feel, and the fact that they are very skin-friendly. Both materials are hypoallergenic and suitable for most people, even those with sensitive skin.
Here is an overview:
| Material | Water resistant | Hypoallergenic | Surface durability |

| Stainless steel | Yes | Yes | Very good |

How long does gold plating last?
