Gold jewellery to wear in and out of the water

joyas de oro para mujer

With the arrival of summer, the occasions to enjoy the water multiply: from relaxing afternoons on the beach to lively pool parties. At these times, maintaining your style without worrying about your accessories is essential. Women's gold jewellery, especially those designed to resist contact with water, become essential allies.

Myths and facts about gold and its prolonged contact with water

One of the most common myths is that gold cannot come into contact with salt or chlorinated water without being damaged. The reality is that pure gold is extremely resistant and will not oxidise. However, most jewellery is made of alloys, usually 18-carat gold, which combine pure gold with other metals to increase its strength and durability. These alloys are generally safe for occasional contact with water, but prolonged exposure to chemicals such as chlorine or salt water can affect its lustre or cause micro-abrasions.

It is important to note that not all gold jewellery reacts the same: the higher the quality of the gold (14, 18 or 24 karat), the greater its resistance to prolonged contact with water.

What makes gold jewellery water resistant?

The water resistance of gold jewellery lies mainly in the quality and composition of the gold used. 18-carat gold, widely used in fine jewellery, is particularly resistant due to its balanced combination of pure gold and stronger metals. This alloy offers an ideal hardness to withstand occasional exposure to water, while maintaining the bright and durable colour that characterises gold.

Practical tips for choosing water-resistant gold jewellery for women

When selecting jewellery that can accompany you to the pool or the beach, it is important to keep a few key tips in mind:

Prioritise high-quality gold: Choose 18-carat pieces for their ideal combination of strength and beauty.

Minimalist designs: Jewellery with simpler designs are less likely to accumulate water and debris, making them easier to care for and maintain.

Secure clasps: Choose bracelets and necklaces with sturdy clasps to prevent accidental loss while swimming or playing water sports.

How to care for gold jewellery after contact with salt or chlorinated water

To keep your jewellery in perfect condition after use in aquatic environments, follow these simple steps:

  • Rinse with fresh water: After contact with salt or chlorinated water, rinse your jewellery gently under running water to remove any chemical residue or salt.
  • Gentle cleaning: Use a soft bristle brush and neutral soap to gently clean the jewellery. Avoid abrasive products that may damage the lustre of the gold.
  • Proper drying: Dry your jewellery thoroughly with a soft cloth to prevent tarnish or mineral deposits.
  • Proper storage: Store your jewellery in a dry, protected place to avoid scratches and keep it in optimal condition.
