Waterproof Jewelry Materials & Care

How Is Our Jewelry Waterproof?

Our waterproof jewelry is crafted to keep up with your everyday adventures—whether you’re diving into the ocean or just hopping in the shower. Most of our pieces start with high-quality 316 stainless steel, known for its strength, durability, and resistance to rust and corrosion. Each one is then finished with a PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coating—an advanced technique that’s 10x more durable than traditional gold or silver plating.
Some styles are made with a brass base instead of stainless steel, but all are finished with the same PVD coating, giving you the same long-lasting shine and tarnish-resistant finish you love.
Unlike traditional plating, which can wear down over time, PVD creates a strong bond between the metal and the color. The result? Jewelry that stays vibrant, resists fading, and stands up to water exposure and everyday wear.
 

Why It Matters:

  • 316 stainless steel base (select styles feature brass base)
  • PVD coating = 10x more durable than standard plating
  • Waterproof and tarnish-resistant
  • Long-lasting color and shine
  • Hypoallergenic and safe for sensitive skin
From beach days to workouts and everything in between—this jewelry is designed to keep up.
 

What Does "Waterproof" Actually Mean?

Thanks to a natural layer of chromium oxide, stainless steel has a built-in barrier that keeps water out. That means no rust, no corrosion—just jewelry that’s down for the ride. And with the power of PVD plating, even brass-based styles can hold their own through splashes, sweat, and showers.
 

Tarnish-Resistant? Absolutely.

That same protective layer helps block oxygen from reacting with the metal, keeping your pieces from losing their sparkle. Unlike other metals that fade or tarnish over time, stainless steel—especially when paired with PVD—stays shiny and fresh longer. Translation: your fave styles will turn heads, season after season.
 

Sensitive Skin? No Worries.

Stainless steel is non-reactive and contains super low levels of nickel, making it a go-to for sensitive skin. Even better? Our brass-based pieces are also finished with a hypoallergenic PVD coating, so you get comfort and confidence.
 

Caring for Your Waterproof Jewelry

These pieces are made to go everywhere with you, but a little love goes a long way!
Here’s how to keep them looking their best:

  • Wipe with a soft, dry cloth if they get wet or dirty
  • Let them air dry before storing
  • Store them separately to prevent scratching
  • Avoid direct contact with harsh chemicals (like lotions or perfumes)
