A necklace you love to wear every day, your favorite gold-colored hoop earrings, or that beautiful bangle that goes with everything. Of course, you want your jewelry to stay beautiful for a long time!
And that is where premium stainless steel comes in. It is strong, highly resistant to moisture, and does not tarnish easily with normal use. It is no wonder it is such a popular material for jewelry.
But what exactly is the deal with gold-colored stainless steel jewelry? What does gold plated actually mean? And can you shower or swim with it?
We will explain it to you. Because when you know what you are wearing, you can enjoy your favorite jewelry even more.
Do stainless steel jewelry pieces tarnish?
Good news! Premium stainless steel is a strong and colorfast material that is very suitable for everyday wear.
Stainless steel, also known as stainless steel, naturally has a silvery color. The material is highly resistant to corrosion and generally retains its beautiful appearance with normal use.
This makes it a great choice for jewelry you want to wear regularly. Think of a minimalist necklace that you combine with other necklaces, your favorite hoop earrings, or a link bracelet that is almost always on your wrist.
And what is also nice: stainless steel requires little maintenance. Cleaning it carefully every now and then is usually enough to keep your jewelry beautiful.
What about gold-colored stainless steel jewelry?
Do you prefer wearing gold-colored jewelry? Then gold plated premium stainless steel is a great choice.
With this jewelry, stainless steel forms the strong base. A gold-colored plating is applied over it, giving the jewelry its beautiful golden appearance.
At Just Good Jewellery, we deliberately choose high-quality platings for our premium stainless steel jewelry. This way, we combine a strong base material with the gold-colored finish we love so much.
And that is, of course, great, because you can endlessly combine gold-colored jewelry.
For example, a beautiful gold-colored necklace with a pearl pendant. Or a beautiful bangle next to a bracelet with colored beads.
Even with simple jeans and a white shirt, a gold-colored link chain can add just that little something extra.
Just like with other gold-plated jewelry, the finish can eventually change due to frequent use and friction. With a little care, you can help preserve the beautiful color for as long as possible.
What is the difference between gold plated and gold plated?
You might see jewelry described as gold plated one time and gold plated another.
But did you know that these terms basically mean the same thing?
With gold plated jewelry, a layer of gold is applied to another base material.
That base material can vary. With JGJ's gold-colored premium stainless steel jewelry, we use stainless steel as the base.
This way, you combine the beautiful golden appearance with the fine properties of premium stainless steel.
Is stainless steel jewelry waterproof?
Waterproof jewelry is extremely popular. And we understand why. Because how nice is it when you do not have to worry right away when your jewelry gets wet?
Premium stainless steel can withstand normal contact with water well. Washing your hands while wearing a stainless steel bracelet is generally not a problem for the base material.
It is only good to know that a complete piece of jewelry sometimes consists of different parts.
For example, a necklace with pearls, natural stone, or other beads may need different care than an all-metal necklace.
And with gold-colored jewelry, the finish also plays a role.
That is why we prefer to look at the complete piece of jewelry rather than just the term waterproof.
Can you shower and swim with stainless steel jewelry?
Ending up under the shower with your stainless steel jewelry? You do not need to worry about that right away.
The base material can withstand water well.
If you want to keep your jewelry beautiful for as long as possible, we do recommend taking it off when showering or swimming. Not only because of the water, but especially because of shampoo, soap, chlorine, and salt.
This certainly applies to jewelry with a gold-colored plating or special details.
It is a simple habit that helps you take extra good care of your favorite jewelry.
And beyond that? Just wear it and enjoy it!

Why is premium stainless steel so great for jewelry?
The great thing about premium stainless steel is that you do not have to choose between a beautiful jewelry look and a practical material.
It has several advantages:
Strong and suitable for everyday use
Premium stainless steel is sturdy and highly resistant to the effects of normal everyday wear. Great for necklaces, bracelets, rings, and earrings that you reach for often.
Generally stays beautiful for a long time
The material is corrosion-resistant and does not actually tarnish with normal use.
Requires little maintenance
You do not need to follow a complicated maintenance routine. With a soft cloth, you can usually keep your jewelry clean easily.
Beautiful in gold-colored and silver-colored
Do you love the natural silver-colored appearance? Or do you prefer a beautiful gold-colored plating? You can create very different jewelry looks with both.
We especially love the latter at JGJ. A few beautiful gold-colored necklaces together, a silver-colored bangle next to a gold-colored bracelet, or one striking piece of jewelry that gets all the attention.
This is how you keep your favorite jewelry beautiful
Your jewelry is, of course, there to be worn. And with a few simple habits, you can enjoy it for even longer.
- Perfume and body lotion first. Let personal care products sink in before putting on your jewelry.
- Take it off when swimming and cleaning. This prevents unnecessary contact with chlorine, salt, and harsh cleaning products. But swimming every now and then is, of course, fine. Just rinse it with plain water.
- Clean it carefully every now and then. A soft, clean cloth is already enough for many metal jewelry pieces.
- Store your jewelry properly. By storing it separately, you prevent it from constantly rubbing against other pieces.
Do you have jewelry with pearls, natural stone, or other special materials? Then take a look at the care for those parts.
Usually, that is all that is needed to take good care of your jewelry.
Gold-colored or silver-colored stainless steel: which do you choose?
Maybe you actually always wear gold-colored jewelry. Or maybe you are completely in love with silver.
With premium stainless steel, you can go either way.
For example, a gold-colored necklace looks great with pearls or warm brown beads. And a silver-colored link chain can look beautiful next to a striking pendant.
Can't choose? Then just wear them together anyway!
A gold-colored bangle with a fine silver-colored bracelet can look great. Or combine two necklaces in different colors for a playful layered look.
What you choose mainly depends on the jewelry you prefer to wear.
Premium stainless steel: jewelry to enjoy
A beautiful necklace, lovely hoop earrings, or a bracelet that you can combine with all your other favorites. Once you have found a piece of jewelry that completely suits you, of course, you want to enjoy it for a long time.
That is why we love premium stainless steel so much at Just Good Jewellery. It is strong, easy to maintain, and generally stays beautiful for a long time with normal use.
With our high-quality gold-colored platings and various jewelry designs, you can also go in any direction.
So wear that necklace that makes you so happy, combine your favorite bracelets, and alternate between gold-colored and silver-colored.
Because beautiful jewelry is meant to be worn! Discover here all the jewelry from Just Good Jewellery.
