Can You Shower with Permanent Jewelry? Your Questions Answered

Permanent jewelry is designed to be just that — permanent. That means no clasps, no taking it off at night, and yes — you can shower with it on. But while it’s built to last, there are a few things you should know to keep it looking its best.

Here’s everything you need to know about wearing permanent jewelry in water, plus tips for daily care.


💧 Can I Shower with Permanent Jewelry?

Yes, you can shower with your permanent jewelry. Our pieces are made with high-quality materials like 14k gold filled and sterling silver, both of which are water-friendly and designed for everyday wear.

That means your bracelet, anklet, or necklace can stay on through:

  • Daily showers

  • Hand washing

  • Light swimming

  • Workouts

  • And all of life’s little moments


🛁 What About Pools and Hot Tubs?

While water alone won’t harm your permanent jewelry, chlorine and strong chemicals (like those in pools, hot tubs, or cleaning products) can cause dullness over time — especially for sterling silver.

Gold filled jewelry tends to hold up better in these conditions, but to keep your piece sparkling, it’s always best to rinse with clean water and pat dry after exposure to chemicals.


💦 Will It Tarnish?

  • 14k Gold Filled: Highly resistant to tarnishing and water damage. It’s perfect for 24/7 wear.

  • Sterling Silver: Water won’t damage it, but silver can develop a natural patina over time. This can be polished off easily with a soft cloth or silver cleaner. It’s part of silver’s charm!


✨ Tips to Keep Your Jewelry Looking Beautiful

  • Rinse with water after swimming or sweating

  • Pat dry with a towel after showers

  • Avoid direct contact with perfumes, lotions, or harsh soaps

  • Gently clean with mild soap and water if needed

  • Use a polishing cloth for sterling silver if it starts to dull


💬 Final Thoughts

One of the best things about permanent jewelry is that it’s meant to live with you — through showers, swims, celebrations, and slow mornings. While no jewelry is totally indestructible, choosing the right material and giving it a little care goes a long way.
