Waterproof Jewellery

What type of jewellery is waterproof?

This can include quality stainless steel jewellery, but many other incredibly stunning options and jewellery types are also waterproof. Some examples include platinum and gold. 

Now, these materials are metals that will not react with water or when exposed to water. They're also among the highly popular and valuable waterproof jewellery materials in New Zealand and across the world.

Additionally, you'll find that palladium, titanium, and aluminium jewellery materials are also waterproof. This means you will not need to remove jewellery made of these materials when entering an environment where there is a lot of moisture.

What is the best pool-safe jewellery?

Your best choices when trying to find pool-safe jewellery are options such as metals that don't corrode. These can include materials such as solid gold and stainless steel jewellery options as well as platinum pieces.

Since chemicals in pool water, such as chlorine, can cause damage to jewellery, we really advise sticking to solid gold options in the pool, and if you want to wear pieces that have a gemstone, consider those that manufacturers created with durable stones, such as diamonds. Chlorine does not easily damage options such as these, so you can wear them confidently when swimming.

What jewellery can you wear while working out?

If you're wearing solid gold jewellery, such as lightweight gold plated steel necklaces, when you work out, your sweat and the oils will not damage its quality. And the same goes for platinum jewellery, such as small platinum stud earrings, which can withstand the oils and moisture of your body. This is because these materials are tarnish-resistant and waterproof and are good options to wear while working out.

Other types of jewellery are also suitable for working out, including stainless steel rings that do not rust. But remember that a snug fit is important to ensure you don't damage your fingers, sustain an injury, or lose the ring in the event it slides off your finger.

Does tarnish-free mean waterproof?

Although a tarnish-free material typically will not lose its shine, lustre or colour, this isn't the same thing as waterproof qualities. A piece of jewellery that is tarnish-free might be damaged in other ways from water, especially if it is exposed for a long time to moisture.

Waterproof jewellery can resist water damage. Yet this doesn't mean that it's immune to tarnishing. Other chemicals in the environment may cause waterproof jewellery to tarnish over a long period of time despite its waterproof qualities.
