Waterproof Jewellery

What type of jewellery is waterproof?

Water-resistant jewellery is crafted to remain unaffected by exposure to water and sweat, and stainless steel, 925 sterling silver, 14k and 18k gold, and titanium each fulfil this requirement. Camile & Stone NZ craft waterproof rings, necklaces, bracelets, and earrings using these options, creating contemporary stacks you can wear everywhere. 

Representing your story no matter the environment, our Original Initial Letter Necklace is a coveted waterproof necklace NZ choice. With the option to include up to 11 letters, you can choose the individual initial, word, name, or message that showcases who you are. 

What is the best pool-safe jewellery?

Waterproof jewellery for swimming is some of the best pool-safe jewellery available, made from a variety of materials. These include:

• Stainless steel is one of the most highly durable and rust-resistant options. It’s a particularly safe option when looking for pieces to wear in chlorine 
• Solid gold (14k+), as it won’t corrode with exposure to water
• Titanium, like that found within our body jewellery collections. It’s completely hypoallergenic, making it suitable for sensitive skin 
• Silicone and resin, which are completely waterproof 
• Vermeil coating, which we use for our 18k gold vermeil pieces. The coating is highly durable, making it an effective barrier against sweat and water exposure 

What jewellery can you wear while working out?

Waterproof jewellery for active lifestyles is one of the most effective options for jewellery to wear whilst working out, with these designs targeted towards providing a non-intrusive shine. Minimalist options tend to be among the most popular, as their delicate craftsmanship doesn’t add bulk. 

When adding an accessory to frame the face in activewear, our huggie earring collection is amongst our most popular active jewellery options. They’re stylish enough to create an impact, yet won’t get in the way whilst you’re in the gym. They’re popular options for waterproof earrings, and many people choose them to add some shine to their look. 

Once your session is complete, we recommend gently washing your pieces in warm water with a non-abrasive soap to help remove any sweat that has accumulated. Once dry, polish them using a high-quality cloth to restore their shine. 

Does tarnish-free mean waterproof? 

Though the two terms are often used together, tarnish-free does not automatically mean waterproof. There are a few key differences between the two jewellery types, though they can co-exist in the same designs. 

Tarnish-Free Jewellery:

• Refers to the resistance of metal to corrosion. It’s crafted to resist corrosion and darkening with wear 
• It resists oxidation and discolouration, which is a process that can also occur from air and the duration of wear 

Water-Resistant Jewellery

• Can withstand exposure to water without rusting or damage occurring to the piece 
• It is designed to be worn in the shower, pool, or ocean without losing colour or metal corrosion 
• Can also be tarnish-resistant when crafted with vermeil options
