What jewelry can you wear in the shower?

While it's generally recommended to remove most jewelry before showering to maintain its luster and longevity, some types of jewelry are more resistant to water and can be worn in the shower. Here are some types that can typically withstand exposure to water:

• Solid Gold Jewelry (14K and Higher): High-quality solid gold jewelry, especially 14K or higher, is resistant to tarnish and corrosion. However, it's still a good idea to avoid exposure to harsh chemicals found in soaps and shampoos.

• Platinum Jewelry: Platinum is a highly durable metal that resists tarnishing and corrosion, making it a good option for shower wear. It maintains its shine and doesn't react with water.

• Stainless Steel Jewelry: Surgical-grade stainless steel is resistant to rust, tarnish, and corrosion. It's a durable option for shower wear and is often used in body jewelry.

• Titanium Jewelry: Titanium is another durable and hypoallergenic metal that can withstand water exposure. It's lightweight and resistant to tarnish and corrosion.

• Plastic or Silicone Jewelry: These materials are water-resistant and won't tarnish or corrode. They are often used in casual or sports jewelry.

• Gold-Plated Sterling Silver: While gold-plated sterling silver can handle occasional exposure to water, frequent showering may reduce the lifespan of the gold plating. It’s best to limit its exposure to maintain its appearance.

• Rhodium-Plated Sterling Silver: Similar to gold-plated, rhodium-plated sterling silver can withstand some water exposure but may wear down with frequent contact. Occasional showering is okay, but avoid regular exposure to prolong the plating's life.

It's important to note that even water-resistant jewelry can accumulate soap and mineral deposits, which may dull its appearance over time. Regular cleaning and maintenance can help keep your jewelry looking its best.
