I am a take your jewellery off at night kind of girl, but I know lots of my lovelies prefer to wear their jewels 24/7, so I have been doing a bit of research into water safe gemstones to point you in the right direction for jewellery to suit you.
All of the metals I use at Little Gems Jewels are non-tarnish, durable and waterproof, but you do need to be a little careful with gemstones as some don't like water at all, some may be affected by the chemicals in swimming pools, salt water, or even your shampoo or body wash in the shower. If you love a good soak in a salt bath or a visit to the spa (who doesn't?) then I would still recommend removing all your jewellery first.
The gemstones below are generally considered water safe and can be worn for short periods of time in water.
- Agate
- Amethyst
- Aventurine
- Citrine
- Clear Quartz
- Rose Quartz
- Smoky Quartz
- Moonstone
The other thing you need to bear in mind when choosing jewellery that you might want to wear in water is how it is made. If the gemstones are wire wrapped or set in a claw setting then they will be much more durable than a half drilled gemstone which will have been attached using jewellery adhesive.
I have curated a small collection of my recommended Little Gems Jewels waterproof jewellery designs to inspire your next purchase.
If you have any questions at all then please do get in touch.
