Summer is officially here and we know you’re missing the ocean just as much as we do! If you’re looking for accessories that will elevate your beach outfit but you’re worried about them getting damaged, here are four local brands that offer long-lasting beach-proof jewelry that won’t hurt your wallet!
océane folk
If you’re tired of jewelry that tarnishes quickly, they are too. Their pieces go through a process called Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) which vacuum seals the materials with a quality gold finish. This procedure strengthens the jewelry’s molecular bond, allowing it to withstand harsh elements and activities. You won’t have to worry about damaging your purchases, whether you’re going out for a dip in the ocean or grinding at the gym. Best for sensitive skin types, rest assured that their pieces don’t contain any materials that will trigger an allergic reaction, and harmful metals such as nickel and lead aren’t used in production. A plus is that after your jewelry’s first long life, it’s 100% recyclable! Shop at their website and check out their Instagram!
Sunspell
Rock chic sun and sea-resistant jewelry anytime. With most of their pieces made from stainless steel or brass, you can have confidence that their pieces are durable especially as they use 18k gold for the PVD method too! This makes their jewelry more resistant to rust, water, and sweat. Aside from their jewelry, they also released fresh, cute, and colorful macrame bucket hats and mini totes from their Bloom collection that can be great statement pieces for your beach OOTDs as well!
