What you need to know about wearing jewelry to the seaside

 Fashion and style are always changing and until a few years ago women used to wear their jewelry to the beach as it looks stylish and beautiful. Dozens of fashion bloggers and celebrities have been spotted in killer jewelry pieces on the beach and this gives most women the green light to start doing the same.

 

But here’s something you need to know, wearing your Custom Engagement Rings Issaquah to the beach isn’t the same as wearing it to lunch or the office. The sand, salty air, and saltwater can wreak havoc on your pieces and ruin them.

 

Sand can be abrasive to certain metals

Remember that sand is made from silica and the rough texture can be abrasive and degrading to softer metals like citrine or amethyst. But wearing something made of diamonds which is tough won’t get ruined in the sand.

 

The same applies to metals. Solid gold or solid silver is hard and won’t be affected by the sand too much but gold-plated, rose gold or even rhodium-plated jewelry is quite soft and may get scratched or ruined.

 

Always know your jewelry pieces before you wear them to the beach and stick with harder more solid metal pieces.

 

Saltwater can harm your jewelry

Rose gold Engagement Rings Issaquah have copper in them and can react with the saltwater and start wearing down. Over time it can degrade and ruin the look and feel of the piece. Salty air can also rust any jewelry pieces made from iron or steel.

 

Pieces made of turquoise, coral, or wood will absorb sea air and eventually rot – even if they look good on the beach, the damage has already taken place and in time you will reduce their lifespan by exposing them to beach air.

 

The Bottom Line

At Plateau Jewelers, whether you are picking Wedding Bands Issaquah or even diamond jewelry you need to know which pieces should be kept at home and those that can be used to travel.

 

Pieces of tough gemstones like diamonds, solid gold, platinum, and more can come out in the sun and sparkle while softer more intricate pieces are best left safely tucked away.
