Is copper jewelry waterproof?

1 Answer
Is copper jewelry waterproof?
No, copper jewelry isn't waterproof. Because exposure to water can damage the metal, dry it off as soon as possible if you get caught in the rain or your jewelry becomes wet in some other way. To keep your jewelry looking new, remove it before showering, bathing and swimming. You should also take it off before applying hair and skin care products and before engaging in any activities that could cause it to become bumped or scratched. On 1stDibs, find an assortment of copper jewelry.

Antique Amuletic Dozen RockCrystals CagedRing MedievalStyle Gilt Bronze Pendant
Located in Chicago, IL
This antique amuletic bronze framed pendant cages a dozen 7mm-diameter single-cut rock crystals that each feature a table-cut decagon crown, deep pavilion, 21 facets and uncut girdle, while the culets range from off-center to blunted. They are tightly set within four linked rings to overlap at the same angle in a sparkling single row. Seeming to retain a little of its original yellow-gold gilding on just the interior, the frame that surrounds each of the four sections of three crystals enables them to reflect pale-yellow-and-lime light when the pendant is viewed from certain angles. Each crystal can be manually rotated. Suggesting French heritage, the Medieval Frankish culture in northern France made jewelry in similar segmented or openwork shapes of wheels or whorls, which were worn as gem-decorated disk-shaped brooches or gold-caged rock...
