Waterproof jewellery, explained

From your morning shower to a swim on holiday, your jewellery should feel at home in your day. Discover the materials behind EMILIAZ pieces, what waterproof means for everyday wear and the simple habits that help keep them looking their best.

The materials behind your pieces

Our jewellery starts with 316L stainless steel. Our gold pieces have an 18K gold finish applied using PVD coating. They are gold-plated over a stainless-steel base, rather than solid gold.

PVD stands for Physical Vapour Deposition: the process used to apply that gold finish. Explore our Materials & waterproof guide for a closer look, and check each product’s description for its available finishes and details.

Made for showers, pool days and sea swims

EMILIAZ jewellery is suitable for showers, pool swimming and sea swimming. Wear your favourite pieces through these everyday moments, then give them a little care afterwards.

After the pool or sea, rinse your jewellery with fresh water and gently dry it with a soft, lint-free cloth. Make this a regular part of your routine after swimming.

Waterproof and everyday wear

Water resistance is one part of looking after jewellery. A finish can also be affected by friction, accidental knocks and contact with harsh chemicals. Gold plating is a surface finish, so its appearance can change with wear over time.

Simple care and separate storage help protect your pieces. Waterproof jewellery still benefits from the same thoughtful handling you would give any favourite accessory.

A few simple care habits

  • After swimming: rinse with fresh water after the pool or sea.
  • Dry gently: use a soft, lint-free cloth.
  • Protect the finish: avoid direct sprays of perfume, cleaning products and harsh chemicals.
  • Store separately: use a pouch or individual compartment to help prevent scratches and tangles.

Your one-year warranty

Our one-year warranty starts on delivery and covers manufacturing defects and plating quality. Normal wear, accidental damage and unauthorised alterations are excluded. See the full terms and how to request help in our Care & warranty guide.

Find your everyday favourites

Choose the finish, size and measurements that suit you, using each product’s details to guide your choice. Wear one piece on its own, layer a few or mix your favourites to make the look your own.
