Bodystrands
Jewelry Care
Our pieces are made to be worn every day. Here is everything you need to know to keep them looking beautiful for years to come.
The Water Test
We soak every design in water for days at a time.
Before a piece ever ships, we test it — fully submerged, for days on end. No dulling, no discoloration, same shine as day one. That is the standard every Bodystrands piece is held to, which is why we can confidently say: shower in it, swim in it, forget it is even on. It will still look brand new.
Your Jewelry is Built to Last
All Bodystrands pieces are crafted from high-quality stainless steel — tarnish-resistant, hypoallergenic, and waterproof. No special maintenance required to keep your jewelry looking beautiful.
It's Waterproof
You can wear your Bodystrands jewelry in the shower, the pool, or the ocean. Stainless steel does not rust or tarnish from water exposure. That said, we recommend rinsing your piece with fresh water after prolonged exposure to chlorine or saltwater, and patting it dry with a soft cloth.
Cleaning Your Piece
For day-to-day care, a quick rinse under warm water is all you need. If your jewelry needs a deeper clean — for example after contact with lotions, perfume, or oils — gently wash it with a small amount of mild soap and warm water, then rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid abrasive cloths or brushes that can scratch the surface.
What to Avoid
While stainless steel is highly durable, a few things can dull its finish over time:
• Harsh chemicals such as bleach, ammonia, or acetone
• Applying perfume, hairspray, or sunscreen directly onto the jewelry
• Leaving the piece in contact with rubber or latex for extended periods
Storing Your Jewelry
When you're not wearing your piece, store it in the pouch or box it came in — or any soft, dry container. Keeping it away from direct sunlight and humidity will help it stay looking its best. Avoid storing multiple pieces together loose, as they can scratch each other.
Polishing
If your piece loses some of its shine, buff it gently with a soft microfibre cloth in small circular motions. This is usually all it takes to restore the original finish. No specialist products are needed.
Gold-Tone Pieces
Our Gold Tone pieces feature a PVD (physical vapour deposition) gold coating over stainless steel — a far more durable finish than traditional gold plating. With proper care, the coating will stay vibrant for years. Avoid submerging Gold Tone pieces in harsh chemicals, and remove them before using cleaning products.
