Fun in the Sun: How to Protect Your Jewelry This Summer – by European Style

Summer brings sunshine, salty air, and endless adventures—but while you're living your best life, your jewelry could be taking a hit. The truth is, elements like chlorine, sunscreen, sand, and saltwater can damage even your most cherished pieces.

At European Style, we believe in everyday luxury that lasts. Our jewelry is crafted to be waterproof, tarnish-resistant, and hypoallergenic—but even the best-made pieces deserve thoughtful care. Here’s how to keep your favorites safe, stunning, and summer-ready.

Beaches, Pools & Sun—Know the Risks

Water Adventures: Pools, oceans, and lakes are some of the most common places people lose or damage their jewelry. Cold water causes your fingers to shrink, making rings slip off easily. If it falls into a lake or ocean, it's rarely coming back.

European Style Tip: Remove your jewelry before swimming and store it in a secure, dry place—like a travel pouch or jewelry case. Better safe than sorry.

Chlorine Damage: Pool chemicals are harsh on metals and gemstones. Chlorine dulls polish, weakens settings, and can strip the finish from even diamonds.

Sand & Saltwater: These aren’t much better—salt corrodes metal, and sand can scratch and loosen stones. Even our ultra-durable stainless steel and 18k gold-plated pieces will thank you for a break from the surf.

Watch the Buildup: Sunscreen & Spray

We’re all for skincare and sun protection—but when it comes to jewelry, sunscreen and bug spray leave behind residue that dulls the shine.

Pro Tip: Apply sunscreen or spray first, wait a few minutes, then put on your jewelry. This small step protects your sparkle.
