Is copper jewelry waterproof?
1 Answer
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.

Fine Art Vessel with Cabochon Rutilated Quartz and Mokume Gane Metal Work
Located in Boulder, CO
Vessel Color: Bright Burnt Orange
Size: Diameter 1-3/8" X 2-1/8"" Tall
This special Vessel features a truly artisinal gemstone created by our longtime partners at the Wackler Gem Company. It is a Doublet consisting of a hemispherical Rutilated Quartz cabochon bonded to a lower flat layer of Condor Agate from the Patagonia region of Argentina.
Encasing this special gem is another truly unique feature of this Vessel: a lathe-turned and Rose Engine engraved setting made of Mokume Gane patterned metal constructed from layers of Sterling Silver, Copper and 5% Shibuichi, a traditional Japanese copper/silver alloy for sword furniture and decorative metalwork. Each metal in the fused laminate reacts differently to the applied patina to reveal the woodgrain patterns that run throughout the thickness of the metal. These patterns are not surface treatments like electroplated colors so they are durable and can be restored to their original colors if ever needed.
