If you are planning to take a dip in the ocean, you might be wondering whether it’s safe to wear your favourite jewellery. While many jewellery brands recommend removing your jewellery before swimming, certain types of jewellery can fight exposure to water better than others.
For instance, solid gold, gold-filled, platinum, or sterling silver jewellery is generally more water-resistant. On the other hand, plated jewellery can be flat to wear and tear, and the underlying material can spoil over time.
Brass jewellery is best avoided in water, but it can be cleaned if it gets wet. When choosing jewellery to wear in the water, it is also important to consider whether it’ll stay securely in place while you are swimming.
Look for jewellery with clasps that fully close, and avoid chunky pieces that could get knocked or pulled off by your movements. It’s worth noting that some of the sturdier options can be quite expensive. Wear it when you feel comfortable.
