When it comes to fine jewellery that lasts a lifetime (and then some), nothing compares to solid gold. At Zohreh V. Jewellery, we love working with solid gold not only for its beauty and luxurious feel but also for its durability, quality, and water-resistant nature.
If you’ve ever wondered whether you can wear your gold jewellery in the shower, the sea, or at the gym, the short answer is yes… if it’s solid gold.
Is Solid Gold Waterproof?
Yes, solid gold is naturally waterproof. That means you can wear it in water, whether you're swimming, showering, or caught in the rain, without worrying about tarnishing or fading.
Unlike gold-plated or gold vermeil jewellery, which can wear away or discolour over time when exposed to water, solid gold doesn’t corrode, oxidise or tarnish. It’s made to be lived in, day after day, year after year.
Solid Gold vs Gold-Plated: What’s the Difference?
It’s easy to confuse gold-plated jewellery with solid gold, but the two are very different in terms of longevity:
-
Solid Gold is made entirely of gold (or a gold alloy like 9ct or 14ct), meaning the gold runs through the entire piece.
-
Gold-Plated or Vermeil jewellery has only a thin layer of gold on the surface, which will wear away with time, especially with exposure to water, sweat or skincare products.
That’s why solid gold is the best choice for jewellery you want to wear every day especially for rings, necklaces, and earrings that stay close to your skin.
