Jewelry in Summer: Tips for Wearing in the Heat

Summer Jewelry: How to Wear and Care for it Properly

Summer jewelry presents its own challenges: heat, sweat, sunscreen, water. We explain what you should consider – so that your jewelry comes through the summer unscathed.

What Summer Jewelry Must Withstand

• Sweat and salt water – attack silver and gold alloys
• Sunscreen and after-sun – settle in settings and around stones
• Seawater and chlorine (swimming pool) – both aggressive for metal
• Heat – minimally expands metal, stone adhesive can soften

What You Should Take Off

• When swimming: All rings (fingers get cold/shrink – ring can slip off)
• In the pool and sea: All silver and gold chains
• When applying sunscreen: Rings and bracelets

Perfect Summer Jewelry

• Ankle bracelet made of 585 gold – essentially waterproof, but better not in the sea
• Small gold stud earrings – minimal, hardly affected
• Titanium jewelry – hardly any oxidation reactions

Cleaning After Summer

After every beach day: Rinse jewelry with lukewarm water, pat dry. Weekly soap bath. At the end of summer: professional cleaning for pieces worn daily.
