I spend at least 70% of the summer at the beach or in the pool. That means I need waterproof gold jewelry that is chic and practical, while being versatile enough to take me from beach to bar effortlessly. You don’t want to be scared of getting your jewelry wet, especially if you’re constantly going in and out of the water. That’s why waterproof jewelry is my go-to in summer.
What I love about waterproof gold jewelry is that it stays looking shiny and new for years, even if you’re out every morning during summer in the pool or taking a dip in the ocean. I’m sharing three of the best waterproof jewelry staples from Cult of Sun that you’ll reach for every summer.
Waterproof Jewelry Gold Earrings
Even a black bikini can be made to look elevated. While most people think of a bikini as activewear, I think of it like any other outfit – meaning it requires its own accessories. The ‘Aurora Earrings’ are one of my go-to staples for waterproof jewelry as a statement piece that makes a sleek ponytail or even wet hair look chic.
As they’re waterproof, you can wear these chunky gold earrings in the pool or around the water without stressing about tarnishing them.
Waterproof Pearl Choker
If you’re a frequent reader of the blog, you’ll know a pearl choker is the must-have jewelry staple for summer 2025. They’re classy but simple and easy to style with almost any outfit. When I’m traveling during summer, I tend to rotate out mini dresses and silk midi dresses as a self-proclaimed carry-on queen.
That’s where waterproof jewelry like the ‘Mint Sensation Necklace’ comes in clutch! It instantly takes a print spaghetti-strap dress from a casual look to an outfit worthy of cocktails at golden hour. Best of all, this waterproof jewelry can be worn year-round as your signature pearl necklace.
Waterproof Shell Jewelry
It’s no secret that shells are my current obsession. For my upcoming vacation, I’m planning on wearing the ‘Galatea Necklace’ and ‘Clio Choker’ on repeat. They’re some of the most unique waterproof gold jewelry you’ll find. The statement shell pendant makes me feel like Ariel with its 3-dimensional shape, while the dainty choker has an ethereal feel with its mismatched pearls and tiny shells.
Looking to invest in your closet this summer? Waterproof jewelry is the easiest way to transition your favorite outfits from spring to summer.
These tarnish-free and waterproof pieces will look brand new for years to come, making them perfect for a capsule closet or if you’re always on the go. No one wants to wear tarnished jewelry! Get ready for summer by shopping for the best waterproof jewelry and trying these three styling ideas with your own pieces!
