Can You Wear Gold-Plated Jewellery in the Shower?
Short answer: It depends — not all gold-plated jewellery is created equal.
At EverLuxe, we often get asked if our pieces can be worn in the shower, to the beach, or while working out. And the answer is yes — because we’ve carefully designed them that way.
But before you shower with just any gold-plated jewellery, here’s what you need to know.
💧 What Happens When You Shower with Regular Gold-Plated Jewellery?
Most gold-plated jewellery is made by coating a thin layer of gold over a base metal like brass or copper. These pieces aren’t waterproof, and exposure to water, sweat, soap, or heat can:
- Cause the gold to wear off faster
- Lead to tarnishing or discoloration
- Trigger skin reactions if the base metal is reactive
🛁 So, Is It Ever Safe?
Only if it’s designed for it.
If you want jewellery you can actually live in, look for pieces that are:
- Waterproof
- Tarnish-resistant
- Hypoallergenic
- Made with stainless steel or titanium under gold
