We get this question a lot: “What does water resistant jewelry actually mean?” “Is it the same as waterproof?” (No.) “Can I wear it every day?” (Yes.) “Should I swim in it?” (Sometimes—but let’s talk.)
At Mogano, we carry a curated edit of water resistant jewelry that looks luxe but doesn’t flake (literally) under pressure. Think 14k gold-filled and sterling silver styles—aka metals that hold up better to water, sweat, and real life than your average plated piece.
So… What Makes It Water Resistant?
Water resistant jewelry isn’t “do whatever you want” jewelry—but it is built for wear. The metals we use, like 14k gold-filled and .925 sterling silver, can stand up to occasional moisture—like washing your hands, getting caught in the rain, or breaking a sweat on a summer walk.
Unlike cheap gold plating, 14k gold-filled has a thick layer of real gold bonded to a core, which means it won’t tarnish overnight. It’s not 100% tarnish-proof (no metal is), but if you follow a few simple care tips? You’re golden.
