Yes, all our jewelry pieces are designed to withstand both saltwater and freshwater. However, to prolong their life, we suggest rinsing them with clean water and drying them after exposure to water.

To keep your jewelry gleaming, we recommend a gentle cleaning with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid the use of disinfectants or other potentially damaging liquids. Additionally, make sure your piercings are thoroughly dried after exposure to water and avoid contact with perfumes or creams. This will ensure your jewelry continues to sparkle over time.
