What Is Waterproof Jewellery?
Waterproof jewellery is jewellery made from materials and finishes that are designed to better withstand everyday exposure to water, sweat and humidity than many traditional fashion jewellery pieces.
Unlike jewellery made from lower-quality base metals, high-quality waterproof jewellery is created using durable materials that are less likely to corrode, tarnish or lose their appearance with normal daily wear.
This makes waterproof jewellery ideal for women who want jewellery they can wear confidently throughout the day without constantly removing it.
While no jewellery is completely indestructible, premium waterproof jewellery is designed to better handle the demands of everyday life.
What Is 316L Stainless Steel?
One of the reasons Vivienne Gold jewellery is so durable is because it's crafted from 316L stainless steel.
316L stainless steel is a premium-grade material that is highly resistant to corrosion and tarnishing. It contains molybdenum, which gives it superior corrosion resistance compared to standard stainless steel (304).
This means your jewellery will maintain its lustre and appearance for years to come, even with daily wear.
What Is 18k PVD Gold Plating?
PVD stands for Physical Vapour Deposition. It's an advanced plating technique that bonds a layer of 18k gold to the stainless steel base.
Unlike traditional gold plating, PVD plating is much more durable and resistant to fading, tarnishing, and wear. The gold layer is bonded at a molecular level, making it significantly more long-lasting.
This is why Vivienne Gold jewellery maintains its beautiful gold finish even with everyday wear, water exposure, and regular cleaning.
Why Australian Women Love Waterproof Jewellery
Australia's lifestyle is unique.
From warm summers and coastal living to busy careers and active weekends, Australian women need jewellery that fits seamlessly into everyday life.
Waterproof jewellery has become increasingly popular because it offers a balance of beauty and practicality.
Women love that they can wear elegant jewellery while enjoying life's everyday moments—whether that's commuting to work, travelling, spending time outdoors or meeting friends after work.
Rather than reserving jewellery for special occasions, waterproof jewellery is designed to become part of your daily style.
