Waterproof jewelry is made to keep up with you through humid weather, showers, swimming and workouts. With a few simple habits, your pieces will look just as bright months from now as on the day they arrived.
What waterproof jewelry means
Waterproof, rust-proof pieces are made from materials and finishes that resist water, sweat and humidity. They will not turn green or rust when they get wet, which makes them ideal for Indonesia’s climate and for everyday wear.
Daily habits that make a difference
- Last on, first off: put jewelry on after perfume, lotion and hairspray.
- Rinse and dry: after the beach or pool, rinse with fresh water and pat dry with a soft cloth.
- Wipe after wearing: a quick wipe removes oils and keeps the shine.
How to clean at home
- Mix warm water with a drop of mild soap.
- Soak your piece for a few minutes.
- Brush gently with a soft toothbrush, especially around clasps and settings.
- Rinse in clean water and dry completely with a lint-free cloth.
What to avoid
- Harsh chemicals such as bleach and chlorine cleaners.
- Abrasive powders or toothpaste, which can scratch the surface.
- Throwing pieces together in one bag, where they can scratch and tangle.
Storing your jewelry
Keep each piece in its own pouch or compartment and fasten chains before storing. A dry box away from direct sunlight keeps every finish looking new.
