Can you wear gold jewelry in the shower?

Technically, a short shower hardly harms real gold (585/750), but it is still advisable to take off gold jewelry before showering. Soap, shampoo, and especially shower gel accumulate in settings and clasps and dull the shine in the long run.

What harms during showering?

• Soap and shampoo – accumulate on metal surfaces and in settings
• Hot water – accelerates deposit formation
• Friction when drying – scratches on polished gold
• Hard tap water – visible lime deposits on metal surfaces

Absolutely forbidden: chlorinated water

Chlorine (swimming pool) reacts chemically with gold alloys and irreversibly weakens the metal structure. Always remove gold jewelry before entering the swimming pool.

What is truly waterproof

Real gold (585/750) without stones and with a solid clasp – like a simple gold band – can withstand water without problems. Jewelry with stones, engravings or hollow gold: always remove.
