Sweatproof Jewelry for Everyday Wear and How to Keep It Clean

This 14-karat gold box chain is perfect for layering, wearing alone, or adding a pendant (may we humbly suggest a diamond initial). It’s also adjustable so you can wear it at three different lengths. While it’ll add a little shine to absolutely any outfit, it’s so delicate you’ll forget you’re wearing it, no matter how hard you’re working out. Trust us, the only time this necklace ever slowed us down was when we stopped to admire how good it looked in the mirror. ($198, Mejuri)

A good snake chain is a classic. This one is 18-karat gold-plated, so it won’t tarnish while you’re basking in the sun, hopefully after slathering on sunscreen. It’s sweatproof, waterproof, and hypoallergenic for sensitive skin. What more could you ask for? ($28, Pearlory)

Yes, you read that right. We’ve put these to the test, catching some afternoon Zzz’s to our heart’s content without any of the poking, prodding, or uncomfortableness of traditional studs.

Did we mention if you use code SKIMM10 you can take 10% off this set through March 14? *Adds to cart.* ($230, Maison Miru)

Silver’s back, baby. This hammered ring is a great way to mix metals in your everyday jewelry lineup. The slightly misshapen heart is oh-so sweet and can be worn on any finger. If silver’s not your thing, it’s also available in a gold-plated option. ($175, Aureum Collective)

We seriously can’t get enough of these handcrafted pieces made to become family heirlooms. This classic choice is made of 14-karat gold that’s semi-hollow, so it’s light enough that it won’t weigh you down during boxing or yoga. Though it’s pricey, it’s also timeless and pairs well with other bracelets in your stack. Your child (or future child) will thank you. ($640, Kinn)

We’ve worn this cartilage hoop for years and can confirm the 14-karat gold remains just as shiny over time. The hoop locks into place, so while you’re lunging, namaste-ing, biking, etc., you won’t have to worry about it falling out. It’s sold as a single, so if you want both ears to match, add more than one to your cart. You know the drill. ($160, Maison Miru)

Talk about versatility. This satellite chain can be a necklace, bracelet, or even an anklet, depending on the length you choose. It’s gold-filled rather than gold-plated, so it’s much more durable. All of the jewelry from this brand is hypoallergenic and meant to sweat, shower, and sleep in, so you really can’t go wrong. ($46+, OXB)

These 14-karat, solid-gold earrings are somewhere between an understated huggie and a hoop. They’re a great addition to any ear party and even come in a slimmer version. They have a secure snap closure and are sold as a single or pair. ($240, Kinn)

This ring features an ethically lab-grown diamond that’s flat, so it won’t scratch while you’re lifting weights or getting groceries out of the trunk. Shower in it, do your skincare routine with it on — the 18-karat, gold-plated finish will never dull. It also has an anti-tarnish coating. Go ahead, wear it out. ($250, Abbott Lyon)

This tiny sparkler will catch the sunlight, but won’t leave your wrist feeling heavy. It’s sustainably made with recycled 14-karat gold, comes in five different sizes, and looks cute with an added charm. We’re obsessed with the pearl ice cream charm. What a treat. ($98, Catbird)

Twist the bottom of this go-everywhere stick, apply to your diamonds, gemstones, and gold, and watch them shine.

Stash these in your purse or suitcase to not only remove tarnish and restore brilliance to your gold jewelry, but to also apply an anti-tarnish coating to protect your precious pieces even longer. There’s no rinsing required, but customers say a little elbow grease is necessary. ($8.99, Amazon)
