How To Choose Your Beach Jewelry?

In recent years, i’s quite stylish and even recommended to wear jewelry at the beach. But wearing jewelry at the beach isn’t the same as wearing it anywhere else. You need to be extra careful with certain jewelry items on the beach, in the sand, and the saltwater. Keep reading and find out which pieces are suitable for the beach.

Choose beach jewelry material

Sand is made from silica, and its rough texture can be quite abrasive and degrade to certain softer metals. For example, gold-plated, rhodium-plated or vermail jewelry is very soft and can be worn by sand. For things like citrine or amethyst, sand can cause considerable damage to it.

The same idea applies to pure gold, sterling silver, or anything solid – they are hard enough not to be affected by the abrasive nature of sand.

So when going to the beach, avoid wearing all soft and plated jewelry. And stick to harder, solid metal jewelry you may have.

Beware of salt water when wearing jewelry

Rose gold jewelry has copper inside, so avoid wearing it to the beach. Because copper will react with salt water and begin to wear out. It will have a long-lasting impact on your rose gold jewelry.
Salt air can also rust any jewelry made of iron or steel. Fragments made of wood, coral, or turquoise, which absorb sea salt air and eventually rot.

Avoid wearing rings on the beach

Due to the process of diuresis(salt water is pumped out of the skin), your fingers shrink in salty and cold seawater. This is dangerous for all your rings. They may slip into the depths of the ocean and you won’t even notice they’re gone. You can’t get them back again.
Therefore, avoid wearing all rings on the beach, especially your diamond engagement ring.

No chunky jewelry on the beach

In summe, the strong sun shines above the beach. If you wear a chunky necklace or bracelet, it will leave strangely thick tan lines on your skin.
In general, it is more appropriate to choose dainty jewelry on the beach. Glamorous fine jewelry is hot right now, so it’s not hard to find something that suits your style and needs.
Also, try adding cute little charms like silver shells or conch shells to your jewelry mix. This will give it a touch of bohemian beach vibe, which will take your style to the next level. You can also experiment with different styles depending on your personality and see which one resonates with you.

Clean your beach jewelry properly

After returning home from the beach, you need to clean your jewelry well using a clean, damp cotton cloth.

Do this after every beach day. It’s easy to forget about this step, especially if you’re out there for a long, exhausting day. But with this step, your jewelry will remain unwavering for a long time to come.
