Can You Shower with Jewellery?
Can you shower with jewellery? Discover why Deema & Co.’s 100% waterproof stainless steel jewellery is designed for real life — shower, swim, gym, and beyond.

Most of us have been there — standing in the shower, suddenly realizing “Oh no, I forgot to take off my necklace!” The worry that it might tarnish, rust, or turn your skin green is enough to ruin the relaxing vibe. That’s because with traditional plated or alloy jewellery, water is the enemy.
But here’s the good news: not all jewellery reacts that way. At Deema & Co., every piece is crafted from 100% waterproof stainless steel — meaning you never have to choose between looking good and living your life. Let’s break down what people really want to know when they search for “can you shower with jewellery?”
Can You Shower With Stainless Steel Jewellery?
Yes. Stainless steel is non-corrosive, tarnish-resistant, and built to withstand everyday water exposure. Unlike gold plating or brass, it doesn’t peel or fade after contact with soap or water. That means you can step into the shower, wash your hair, and step out with your jewellery looking exactly the same.
At Deema & Co., we test every design for real-world durability — because your jewellery should fit your lifestyle, not the other way around.
What About Swimming in the Pool or Ocean?
This is one of the most common questions people ask: “Will chlorine or saltwater ruin my jewellery?”
Swimming pools: Chlorine is notorious for tarnishing plated jewellery. Stainless steel, however, resists chemical reactions, making it a safe choice for daily swimmers.
The ocean: Saltwater can corrode many metals, but stainless steel contains chromium, which forms a protective barrier against rust. That’s why it’s used in marine and surgical equipment — and why it’s perfect for waterproof jewellery.
So whether you’re diving into the pool or enjoying a beach holiday, Deema & Co. pieces stay bright and flawless.
Can You Work Out or Sweat in Jewellery?
Another top search query: “Can I wear jewellery to the gym?” The answer is yes. Sweat often speeds up tarnishing on plated jewellery, but stainless steel is resistant to the acids and moisture in perspiration. That makes it the perfect companion for workouts, hot yoga, or running under the Singapore sun.
Can You Sleep With Jewellery On?
Many people also search: “Is it safe to sleep with jewellery?” With delicate chains or sharp edges, plated jewellery may break, snag, or cause irritation. But stainless steel jewellery is durable and smooth, making it safe for overnight wear. Still, we always recommend rotating your pieces to prevent tangling and give your skin breathing space.
Stainless Steel vs. Plated Jewellery: What’s the Difference?
Plated jewellery looks shiny at first but fades after contact with water, sweat, or chemicals. You need to make sure you get vacuum furnace or electroplated jewellery and provide jewellery care regardless so it will last longer. Read further in below on how to care for your 100% waterproof jewellery.
Sterling silver looks beautiful but tarnishes quickly and needs regular polishing. You will need to get something that is around 1.00 micron gold electroplated not 0.03/0.30 micron (micron – thickness of gold) Anything lower will not last. At Deema & Co, we use above 1.00 micron thickness and add protective e-coating to make it last even longer!
Stainless steel? It’s waterproof, rust-resistant, hypoallergenic, and low-maintenance.
That’s why Deema & Co. chose stainless steel as the foundation of every collection. It’s not just stylish — it’s practical.
Quick Tips to Keep Your Jewellery Looking New
Even though stainless steel is carefree, a little attention goes a long way:
Rinse off chlorine or saltwater after a swim.
Wipe with a soft cloth after workouts.
Store separately to avoid scratches from softer metals.
Avoid harsh chemicals like bleach or acetone.
