This piece is water resistant. Why not waterproof? Because only solid gold is 100% waterproof - we always keep it real with you.  So, you accidentally wore it in the shower or fell into the pool. No need to panic! Still, the less exposure to water and harsh elements, the better.  Our jewelry is made of hypoallergenic plated stainless steel and sterling silver. That makes it durable, non-reactive, rust and tarnish free, and perfect for sensitive skin. We recommend using a jewelry polishing cloth to help preserve color and shine.
