Can I Wear Sterling Silver in the Shower?

People love sterling silver pieces but do not want to spend lots of efforts to maintain them. They are wondering can I wear sterling silver in the shower? Can sterling silver get wet? It's generally not recommended to wear fashion jewelry in the shower because prolonged exposure to water, soap, and shampoo can cause various issues, such as tarnishing, discoloration, weakening of materials, and damage to adhesives or gemstones. However, if you want to wear jewelry in the shower occasionally, you should opt for pieces that are more resilient and less likely to be affected by moisture. Here are some options:

 

1. Stainless Steel Jewelry: Stainless steel jewelry is known for its durability and resistance to tarnishing and corrosion. It can withstand occasional exposure to water and moisture better than many other materials.

2. Solid Gold :Solid gold, particularly 14k or 18k gold, is relatively resistant to tarnishing and corrosion. It can withstand occasional exposure to water without significant damage. However, be mindful of the care instructions for any gemstones or other materials in the jewelry.

3. Gold-Plated Jewelry: Solid gold and well-made gold-plated jewelry are relatively resistant to tarnish and can handle water exposure better than some other metals. However, it's essential to ensure the plating is of high quality and thickness to prevent fading or peeling.

4. Fashion Jewelry with Waterproof Coating: Some fashion jewelry is coated with a protective layer that can make it more resistant to moisture. Check the manufacturer's information to see if a piece has a waterproof coating.

Even with these more water-resistant materials, it's essential to keep in mind that exposure to moisture and chemicals should be limited. To extend the life of your fashion jewelry, it's still best to remove it before showering, swimming, or engaging in activities involving water. Additionally, always remember to pat dry any jewelry that accidentally gets wet to prevent lingering moisture issues. Every pieces from EWOOXY JEWELRY are intensively tested for its quality, and covered with 2 years warranty to make our customers shop in confidence.
