Long-Lasting Brass Beads With Twisted Pattern - Gold-Plated (3x2mm) 20 pcs

Waterproof means that a jewelry finding is resistant to water, sweat, and daily use – so it can be worn every day, even in the shower and during exercise, without losing its look. This sets it apart from many traditional coated jewelry findings, where the coating wears and fades more quickly.

Our waterproof jewelry findings are made just for you, if you want jewelry materials that can withstand everyday use – day after day, year after year. Where an ordinary gold-plated coating often starts to fade after a short time of use with water and sweat, waterproof jewelry findings offer a durability measured in years. These are jewelry and jewelry findings you can enjoy far into the future – and that can become a steady companion in your everyday life.

However, waterproof does not mean that the jewelry finding is completely indestructible. Jewelry can still be affected by perfume, creams, cleaning agents, chlorine, salt water, hair products, and heavy wear. That's why we always recommend a bit of care in everyday life if you want to enjoy your jewelry for as long as possible.

To take the best possible care of your waterproof jewelry findings, we recommend that you dry them off after contact with water or sweat, avoid unnecessary contact with chemicals, and store them dry when not in use.

In short: If you want a piece of jewelry that can follow you every single day and last for years – not just days or weeks – then waterproof jewelry findings are the right choice. They are made for everyday life and stay looking their best the longest when you take a little care of them along the way.

Long-lasting means that the jewelry finding has a plating made to hold its color longer than a regular gold plating or silver plating. It's a great choice for jewelry you wear often and that needs to keep its shine for a long time.

What makes the plating long-lasting?

Quite simply: the plating is thicker and stronger than on regular plated jewelry findings. Typically, it's a plating of genuine 18K gold on the gold-plated pieces and of 925 sterling silver on the silver-plated ones. The more plating there is to wear down, the longer the jewelry finding keeps its color.

The difference between long-lasting and waterproof

Long-lasting and waterproof are not the same thing. A waterproof jewelry finding withstands water and sweat and can be worn in the shower and during exercise. A long-lasting plating lasts longer than a regular plating, but does best when kept away from water, sweat, and chemicals.

How to make it last the longest

• Take off the jewelry when you shower, swim, or do the dishes
• Apply perfume, lotion, and hairspray first – and put on the jewelry last
• Avoid direct sunlight and strenuous physical work while wearing the jewelry
• Store each jewelry finding separately in a closed bag or box, in a cool, dry place
• Bring back the shine with a soft polishing cloth

In short: if you want jewelry findings that hold their color longer than regular plating, long-lasting is a great choice. And with a bit of care in everyday life, you'll enjoy them even more.
