Best Waterproof Jewellery in Australia for Everyday Wear and Beach Days

In Australia, we live outdoors. Morning swims, weekends at the beach, the gym, the pool, and long, hot summers. Jewellery that can't handle water just doesn't fit that lifestyle. Waterproof jewellery does.

Here at Beach Boho in Perth, our waterproof jewellery collection is made for exactly this: pieces you put on and leave on, from your morning swim to dinner by the water.

What is waterproof jewellery?

Our waterproof range is made from medical-grade 316L stainless steel, finished in 18k gold, rose gold or silver. 316L steel is naturally resistant to rust and corrosion, so it handles salt water, chlorine, sweat and sunscreen far better than ordinary fashion jewellery. Every piece is:

• Waterproof: swim, shower and sweat in it
• Tarnish resistant: it keeps its colour and shine
• Hypoallergenic: comfortable for most people, including many with sensitive skin
• Gift-boxed: ready to give, or to keep for yourself

Why waterproof jewellery suits the Australian lifestyle

Think about a typical summer day: a swim before work, a hot commute, the gym, a shower, an afternoon at the beach with the kids and dinner outside. Ordinary jewellery would need to come off and go back on half a dozen times. Waterproof jewellery stays put.

• Salt water and chlorine: 316L steel is made to handle the ocean and the pool.
• Heat and humidity: no tarnish or discolouration from sweat.
• Sunscreen: won't damage the finish the way it can with cheap plated jewellery.
• Less to lose: if you never take it off, you never leave it on the beach towel.

The best waterproof jewellery for Australian summers

1. Waterproof toe rings

Nothing says summer like a toe ring with sandals or bare feet on the sand. Toe rings are our best sellers, and it's easy to see why: they're adjustable, comfortable and made to stay on, even in the ocean. Try the Stack Toe Ring in gold, rose gold or silver, or go for a set like Gold Stacks or our Rose Gold Toe Ring Set. Browse all waterproof toe rings.

2. Waterproof anklets

Anklets are the perfect partner for toe rings, and they're made for the beach. Our waterproof anklets range from fine snake chains like the Medusa Anklet to layered styles like Jeu De Trois, a set of three. Wear one on its own, or stack two or three for a true boho look.

3. Waterproof earrings

From tiny huggies you can sleep in to big statement hoops for the beach, waterproof earrings are the easiest everyday piece. Our hoops come in sizes from 8mm right up to 70mm.

4. Waterproof rings

Stackable bands, adjustable rings and pieces set with natural stones like turquoise, onyx and rose quartz. Our waterproof rings can be worn in the water and stacked however you like.

5. Waterproof necklaces

A fine gold chain or a simple pendant that you never need to take off. Our waterproof necklaces layer beautifully and look gorgeous with swimwear and summer dresses.

How to build your beach jewellery stack

The boho beach look is all about layering pieces that work together. Here's an easy way to build yours:

• Feet first: an adjustable toe ring and one or two anklets in the same metal.
• Ears: huggies for every day, or a medium hoop for a little more presence.
• Hands: two or three stacking rings, mixing plain bands with a natural stone.
• Neck: a fine chain on its own, or layered with a pendant.

Stick to one metal for a clean look, or mix gold, rose gold and silver for a relaxed, collected feel.

What about 925 sterling silver?

Many of our customers love sterling silver, and so do we. Our 925 silver collection includes handmade rings set with moonstone, opal, turquoise and other natural gemstones. You can wear 925 silver swimming, but silver naturally reacts with salt water and chlorine, so give it a rinse, a clean and a gentle polish afterwards to keep it bright. If you'd rather not think about it at all, choose from our 316L stainless steel waterproof range.

Caring for waterproof jewellery

Waterproof stainless steel is very low maintenance. After the beach or pool, rinse it in fresh water, pat it dry, and give it a wipe with a soft cloth now and then. Store pieces separately in their gift box so they don't scratch each other.

Frequently asked questions

Can I wear waterproof jewellery in the ocean?

Yes. Our waterproof pieces are 316L stainless steel, made for salt water, chlorine and showers. Rinse them in fresh water afterwards to keep them looking their best.

Are waterproof toe rings adjustable?

Yes, our toe rings are adjustable to fit most toes, so it's easy to get a comfortable fit.

Will waterproof jewellery fade or turn my skin green?

Our waterproof jewellery is tarnish resistant and made for everyday wear, so it won't turn green the way cheap fashion jewellery can.

What's the difference between waterproof stainless steel and 925 silver?

316L stainless steel is made to be worn in water with almost no care. 925 sterling silver can also be worn swimming, but it needs a rinse and polish afterwards to keep its shine.

Do you ship waterproof jewellery Australia-wide?

Yes. We're based in Perth and ship across Australia, and every piece arrives gift-boxed.
