All that glitters isn’t gold, especially if made of a material that will tarnish over time.

That is the problem with jewelry, especially when worn every day. Some can turn your neck or fingers green and other pieces can look sparkly and new, but fade to a dull brass shade after being exposed to sweat, water or even daily wear.

For those of us who don’t like to take off rings or remember to unclasp necklaces and bracelets before a shower, this article is for you as well, letting us all keep our lazy habits and helping our jewelry stay shiny and new.

We also wanted to mention the benefits of having a few staple pieces, to complement statement jewelry in your collection. These timeless gold and silver chains, rings and bracelets are easy to style and pack for vacation, matching any outfit while looking effortlessly sophisticated.

Plus, you won’t have to take it off when jumping in the pool or ocean, just don’t have a Kim Kardashian moment if you wear your priceless diamond studs.

For gorgeous everyday jewelry that holds up, head to gorjana. The brand offers a few different types of jewelry, from 18K gold plated to their fine jewelry made of 14K or 18K gold.

“All gorjana 18k gold plated pieces are protected with an anti-tarnish barrier,” reads the site. “Our fine jewelry is made of 14k and 18k gold. These metals will not oxidize or discolor with proper care.”

We’ve been closely reviewing Mejuri for years now, and one thing stands out: this is one of the best brands when you’re after affordable fine jewelry. Its approachable fine jewelry ethos means you’re getting pieces made with 14K gold, sterling silver, 18K gold vermeil and ethically sourced diamonds — all while still staying in a price range that doesn’t feel exclusive or out of reach. For anyone who wants fine jewelry but without the luxury‑level markup, Mejuri consistently hits the mark. What’s more, Mejuri does a particularly strong job when it comes to durability and water resistance. Its solid gold pieces (for example, the 14K gold chains and hoops) are naturally corrosion‑resistant, meaning you can wear them more confidently through everyday life, including hand‑washing or in humid conditions. You won’t have to worry if they tarnish or degrade quickly. It’s the kind of quality fit for everyday wear.

Whether you love dainty pieces, trendy pieces or whoa-that’s-gorgeous pieces, Catbird has something for you. Along with being waterproof, its jewelry options are great for anyone on a budget. There’s a wide selection to choose from, including customizable and permanent, so if you’re looking for a unique option, this is the retailer for you.

For rings, necklaces and more made to last, Blue Steel is a great destination.

Many pieces are actually made of stainless steel, which is not prone to tarnish or chip when worn correctly. Plus, there are also options for Tungsten and titanium, which are also quite durable.

This brand has a cheeky name and a great collection of jewelry, too. Bubs and Sass has a whole section of waterproof and tarnish-proof jewelry on their site, with options in both gold and silver colors that hold up.

“Our stainless steel collection is growing every day. We recently made the switch to stainless steel chains for our entire collection, but these pieces are 100% stainless steel,” reads the page. “They are slightly darker than gold plated brass but hold up much better! Go ahead and dive in…your sweat-proof bubs & sass jewelry can handle it!”
