How to Care for Waterproof Jewellery So It Lasts Longer

Cleaning and caring for waterproof gold-look jewellery.

How to Care for Waterproof Jewellery

Waterproof jewellery is designed to be low-maintenance, but every jewellery piece looks better when it is cared for properly.

If you want your Fishtale jewellery to stay shiny and beautiful, follow a few simple care steps.

Can Waterproof Jewellery Get Wet?

Yes. Waterproof jewellery is designed for everyday water exposure, including showering, beach days, gym sweat, and normal daily wear.

However, care still matters. Water is usually not the biggest issue — harsh chemicals, rough storage, and scratches can affect the finish over time.

Daily Care Tips

After wearing your jewellery, gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. This removes sweat, moisture, sunscreen, and natural oils.

If your jewellery has been exposed to saltwater or pool water, rinse it with fresh water first, then dry it thoroughly.

Avoid Harsh Chemicals

Waterproof jewellery is made to handle water, but cleaning chemicals are different. Avoid wearing jewellery while using bleach, strong cleaning sprays, harsh soaps, or chemical products.

Also avoid spraying perfume directly onto your jewellery.

Apply Products First

If you use perfume, sunscreen, moisturiser, or body lotion, apply them first. Let them dry completely before putting on your jewellery.

This helps prevent product build-up and keeps the jewellery looking its best.

Store Jewellery Properly

Do not throw all your jewellery together in one drawer. Pieces can scratch each other, especially polished gold-look jewellery.

Store your jewellery in:

  • A jewellery pouch
  • A jewellery box
  • Separate compartments
  • Soft fabric storage
  • The original Fishtale packaging

How to Clean Waterproof Jewellery

  • Use a soft cloth
  • Use mild soap only if needed
  • Rinse with clean water
  • Dry completely before storing
  • Avoid abrasive cloths
  • Avoid strong jewellery cleaners unless they are suitable for your jewellery's material

Special Care for CZ Jewellery

Cubic zirconia jewellery looks its best when the stones are clean. Wipe them gently to remove fingerprints and natural oils, and avoid scratching the stone surface.

Special Care for Bangles & Bracelets

Bangles and bracelets often come into contact with desks, tables, and other hard surfaces. Avoid knocking them against rough surfaces and store them separately to help maintain their shine.

What Not to Do

  • Do not store jewellery while it is wet
  • Do not use bleach or harsh chemicals
  • Do not scrub with rough or abrasive cloths
  • Do not spray perfume directly onto jewellery
  • Do not leave jewellery in direct sunlight for long-term storage
  • Do not store all pieces loosely together

Final Thoughts

Waterproof jewellery is made for real life, but simple care helps it stay beautiful for longer.

With the right care, your Fishtale jewellery can stay shiny, stylish, and ready to wear every day.
