At Koréil, we’re not just about creating stunning jewelry pieces - we’re about crafting wearable works of art that stand up to the tests of time, and water.

Understanding the materials and composition of jewelry is key to choosing pieces that will last and maintain their shine, which is why we're committed to creating high-quality, waterproof jewelry.

What Makes Jewelry Waterproof?

The waterproof qualities of jewelry are determined by the materials used in their construction. Materials like surgical grade 316L Stainless Steel, which we use as a base metal for our gold pieces at Koréil, are naturally water-resistant.

Unlike jewelry made from brass, regular steel, and alloys which use an excessive amount of carbon in manufacturing, our pieces are designed with longevity in mind. The lower carbon content ensures your jewelry won't rust when exposed to water.

Koréil's Waterproof Promise

Each Koréil jewelry piece is carefully designed using the highest-grade stainless steel used in jewelry making. As such, our pieces contain an extremely negligible volume of carbon, making them water-resistant and safe to wear in most types of water. Whether you’re showering, at the beach, or going about your daily routine, your Koréil jewelry can remain in place without fear of damage.

Durability in Varying Water Types

Showering with Koréil Jewelry

Thanks to the 316L Stainless Steel base, you can confidently wear your Koréil jewelry in the shower, pool, or bathtub. These environments won't damage your pieces, preserving their shine and structure.

Wearing Koréil Jewelry in the Ocean

The stainless steel used in making our jewelry is more corrosion resistant than other popular metals. With a high chromium content, Koréil jewelry is safe to wear in saltwater. While the composition of saltwater differs from freshwater, your Koréil pieces will remain safe even in these environments for short periods.

However, to ensure the longevity of your jewelry, we recommend removing it before prolonged exposure and thoroughly cleaning it after contact with water. We've outlined our practical recommendations in our jewelry care guide.
