We advise against it! If you’re swimming in a pool or lounging in a hot tub, the chlorine used in the water can be incredibly damaging to your jewelry—especially if it’s plated jewelry, which tarnishes more easily. We recommend you leave your pieces poolside and rinse any chlorinated water off before putting them back on. If you accidentally jump into the pool without taking your jewelry off, though, don’t sweat it. Just take it off as soon as you can, give it a rinse with clean (non-chlorinated) water and gentle soap, pat to dry and store it safely.

If you really want to wear your jewelry to the pool—which is a total mood—we recommend primarily wearing gold fill, solid gold or sterling silver pieces as they hold up to chlorine and water better than the latter.

Go right ahead! Showers are an easy, passive way to clean your jewelry and keep it shiny. That said, try to avoid getting any harsh cleansers or intense fragrances on your jewelry as you shower…and take a few seconds to rinse your jewelry completely with clean water before you dry it gently with a soft towel.

Technically, you can…unless you plan on swimming, applying sunscreen or sweating a lot (all of which are very likely)! Sand can be quite abrasive to your jewelry, so we recommend removing your pieces before you head out for your beach day to avoid any scratches or dings. 

If you really want to wear your jewelry to the beach—which is a total mood—we recommend primarily wearing gold fill, solid gold or sterling silver pieces as they hold up to sand, sweat and water better than the latter.

For the most part, yes—unless your pieces are ultra-dainty. Delicate jewelry can get snagged on blankets or pillowcases, making them more susceptible to breaking (what a nightmare)! Chunky chains, cuffs, studs and hoops should be completely fine. Just let your dainty pieces sleep in their jewelry box for safekeeping.

This one’s a big no. At worst, the chemicals and fragrance in sunscreen will tarnish or damage your jewelry. At best, sunscreen will add an unsightly film to your jewelry that you’ll have to clean off later. 

As you apply your sunscreen, be sure to avoid the areas where your jewelry will lay or remove your jewelry, apply your sunscreen, wait a few minutes, wash your hands and then put your jewelry back on. Or, to be super safe, leave your jewelry safely tucked in storage until you get back inside.

No matter where or how you travel, you want to keep your jewelry safe, secure and tangle-free (which is easier said than done). We recommend a thoughtfully designed jewelry case to organize your jewelry and keep all pieces snugly in place as you travel…especially if you’re throwing your jewelry case in a suitcase! Or, if you’re more of a minimalist, we recommend choosing one set of jewelry and justwearing itthe entire time you travel to avoid any extra packing stress.

It really depends on how active you’ll be and what kinds of jewelry you plan to wear. Playing volleyball? Skip the rings and bracelets. Going for a run or jog? As long as you rinse any sweat off your jewelry when you’re finished, you should be good! Depending on your unique chemistry, sweat can be somewhat damaging to your jewelry. Sweating is how our body rids itself of excess fatty acids and amino acids which can tarnish and corrode most metals!

Overall, Just consider what activities you’ll be doing, which areas of your body will be susceptible to any impact, and be sure to give your jewelry a quick clean once you come inside. For the most part, earrings and short necklaces are pretty workout-friendly (unless you’re, like, neck hula hooping or something).
