The Truth About Tarnish: How We Designed Jewelry You Can Swim In

 

This Summer, if you’ve ever taken off your jewelry before hitting the beach or stepping into the shower, you’re not alone. Most fashion jewelry isn’t made to handle water — and when it does get wet, it tarnishes, fades, or leaves a green mark behind.

At Mystical Sands, we wanted better. That’s why we set out to design non-tarnish, waterproof jewelry that you can actually live in — from ocean dips to everyday sweat.

Here’s the truth about tarnish, and what makes our jewelry different.


🧪 What Causes Jewelry to Tarnish?

Tarnishing happens when metal reacts with moisture, air, sweat, or chemicals. This chemical reaction leads to discoloration, dullness, or even rust. It’s most common in:

  • Low-quality gold plating

  • Base metals like copper or brass

  • Jewelry with thin finishes

You’ll often notice fading after just a few wears — especially in humid or wet conditions.


🛠 How We Solved It at Mystical Sands

We believe jewelry should keep up with your lifestyle. That’s why we carefully source premium stainless steel and use 18k gold vacuum plating that’s:

  • Waterproof

  • Sweatproof

  • Tarnish-resistant

Our plating process uses ion bonding, which makes the finish more durable and long-lasting than traditional flash plating. This means you can swim, shower, and sweat without sacrificing shine.


🌊 Tested in Real Life

We don’t just claim it — we test it. Our jewelry is worn during:

  • Saltwater swims

  • Hot summer days

  • Daily workouts

  • Showers and skincare routines

And it still shines, without fading or rusting. That’s the Mystical Sands promise.


💛 Jewelry That Matches Your Lifestyle

Our customers want more than just pretty accessories. They want:

  • Style that lasts

  • Pieces that don’t need to be taken off

  • Jewelry that feels meaningful, not disposable

With a wide range of faith-inspired designs, personalized pieces, and everyday staples, Mystical Sands offers jewelry that’s both intentional and indestructible.


✅ Final Thoughts

You shouldn’t have to choose between style and practicality. Our tarnish-free, waterproof jewelry is designed to be worn, lived in, and loved — no matter the weather, water, or occasion.
