We love the look of gold jewelry glistening in the sun: bangles stacked up for a pool day, a delicate gold necklace out on the boat, a pair of dainty hoops while relaxing on the beach. These pieces create an elegant, luxurious summer look — like you’re a retro starlet, all dolled up for your warm-weather escape. Then reality sets in; your gold-look jewelry can’t withstand the sand, sun, water, or sweat of the summer months.
But you’re in luck. Waterproof jewelry is all the rage, and we’ve rounded up some pretty pieces to start your collection.
