Can I wear silver jewelry to the beach? Discover essential summer care tips!

🌞 Summer, beach... and jewelry! But is it safe?

Wearing jewelry to the beach is tempting—after all, nothing beats a stylish look under the sun. However, it's important to know how to care for silver and gold-plated jewelry this season. In this article, we explain everything you need to know to protect your pieces without sacrificing style.


🧂 Sea salt and the oxidation of silver

Saltwater is one of the main factors affecting silver . Salt accelerates the oxidation process, making the jewelry darker and duller. If you go into the sea wearing a piece of silver, it is likely to lose its original appearance more quickly.

🔹 Tip: Avoid direct contact with the sea. If you want to wear the item just for a photo, that's fine — but remove it before diving.


🌞 Sun exposure and golden baths

Gold-plated jewelry can be more sensitive to heat and solar radiation. Sunscreen can also leave behind residues that are difficult to remove, diminishing the shine of the piece.

🔹 Tip: After a day at the beach, gently clean the jewelry with a polishing cloth specifically designed for silver or gold.


🏖️ Sand: a hidden risk

It may not seem like it, but sand acts like natural sandpaper. Superficial scratches are very common on delicate jewelry, especially those with polished finishes or gemstones.

🔹 Tip: Store your jewelry in a case when not in use.
