Gold-plated jewelry offers an affordable way to enjoy the elegance of gold without the high cost. However, when it comes to wearing it while swimming, the straightforward answer is: it’s not recommended. Here’s why:
Swimming pools are typically treated with chlorine to maintain hygiene. Chlorine can react with the thin gold layer on plated jewelry, leading to discoloration, tarnishing, or even peeling over time. While natural, seawater contains salt and minerals that can also accelerate corrosion and damage the plating.
Prolonged exposure to water can weaken the base metal (often brass or copper) beneath the gold plating. This may result in rust, color changes, or structural issues. Additionally, jewelry is more likely to slip off or get caught during swimming, increasing the risk of loss.
Sunscreens, lotions, and sweat contain chemicals, oils, or acids that can degrade the plating. These substances may cause the jewelry to lose its shine and appear dull over time.
Remove before swimming: Avoid wearing gold-plated jewelry in pools, oceans, or hot tubs.
Clean gently: After wear, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth to remove moisture or residues.
Store properly: Keep jewelry in a dry, sealed container to minimize exposure to air.
While gold-plated pieces are perfect for daily wear, keeping them away from water and chemicals will help maintain their beauty and longevity. For swimming, consider more durable options like solid gold, stainless steel, or titanium jewelry.
Treat your pieces with care, and they’ll continue to enhance your style for years to come!
