Swimming season is approaching! But salt, chlorine, and sunscreen are often fatal for classic fashion jewelry, which oxidizes within hours. The solution to staying stylish on the beach? Jewelry made of stainless steel. Completely waterproof, it resists seawater and leaves no green marks on the skin. Anklets, layered necklaces: prepare your summer look without compromise.
1. Elegance at the beach: Should you take off your jewelry before swimming?
We all know the scene: you arrive at the beach, lay out your towel, and spend 5 minutes taking off your necklace and rings to carefully put them away at the bottom of your bag. The fear? That sea salt or pool chlorine will turn your pretty gold necklace into a dull, greenish old piece of metal.
This is the tragedy of brass or "costume" jewelry. They can't handle holidays. But this year, the rules have changed: you can keep your Maison de l'Amour jewelry on, even in the water.
This summer, your jewelry dives with you.
2. Stainless Steel: Your Waterproof Shield
How do influencers manage to look so perfect coming out of the waves with their layered gold chains? Their secret lies in two words: Stainless Steel.
At Maison de l'Amour, our jewelry is forged from surgical-grade stainless steel. This metal has a magical property: it naturally creates an invisible film that protects it from rust and oxidation. So you can:
- Swim in the ocean: Salt won't attack the metal.
- Dive into the pool: Chlorine won't corrode the gilding.
- Sunbathe: Sunscreen or oil won't leave any nasty black marks on your skin.
3. Our essentials for a "Wow" beach look
Now that you know your jewelry is safe, here's how to wear it this summer to shine under the sun:
1. The Anklet
It's THE ultimate summer jewel. Nothing enhances a bare foot on the sand or a pair of sandals more than a delicate gold anklet. Choose one with small pendants (sun, seashell) for a bohemian effect.
2. Layering on tanned skin
Gold (PVD gilding) looks wonderfully striking on sun-kissed skin. Don't hesitate to layer two or three delicate necklaces with your swimsuit for a very "Gypset" (Gypsy Jet-Set) look. See our necklaces
3. Large Hoop Earrings
Wet hair pulled back (the famous "Wet Hair" look), oversized sunglasses, and a pair of thick gold hoop earrings: that's the uniform of the cool girl on the beach. Effortlessly chic. See our earrings
4. The little post-beach ritual
Your Maison de l'Amour jewelry are warriors, but they like to be taken care of.
Our pro tip: After a long day of sand, salt, and sunscreen, simply rinse your jewelry under clear (fresh) water when you get back. Dry them with a soft towel. This will remove salt residue and restore the full sparkle of the gold-plated steel for your evening!
