Waterproof Jewelry or Traditional Jewelry? Which Lasts Longer?
Share
When choosing jewelry, durability is one of the most important factors. Many people wonder: which lasts longer, waterproof jewelry or traditional jewelry? In this article, we explain the key differences between both types of jewelry, analyzing their materials, durability, and maintenance.
What is waterproof jewelry?
Waterproof jewelry is designed to withstand daily wear, moisture, or sweat without losing its shine or oxidizing. It's the ideal choice for those looking for durable, stylish, and low-maintenance accessories.
At SISARU, our pieces are made of 316L stainless steel and coated with 18-karat gold using PVD technology , ensuring high resistance to wear, water, and the passage of time.
Main materials of waterproof jewelry
- 316L stainless steel
It's an ultra-durable, hypoallergenic , and rust-proof material. Perfect for everyday use, even in the shower, at the beach, or at the gym.
- 18K gold with PVD coating
PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coating is a high-end technology that seals the gold onto the steel, preventing it from wearing down or discoloring. It's much more durable than traditional gold plating.
And what about traditional jewelry?
Traditional jewelry is made of metals such as sterling silver , solid gold , or brass . They have sentimental or aesthetic value, but require much more care .
- Sterling silver : oxidizes easily with air and humidity, requires frequent polishing.
- Gold (14K, 18K, 24K) : Pure gold is softer and prone to scratching.
- Brass or copper : can leave green stains on the skin due to oxidation.
