One of the most common questions we get about permanent jewelry is whether you can shower or swim with it — and the answer is yes! Our gold-filled and sterling silver chains are made to be lived in, so you can keep your sparkle on through everyday life.
At Bonded by Gigi in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, our permanent jewelry is designed for comfort, durability, and style — whether you’re out on the lake, lounging by the pool, or hopping in the shower after a long day.
💎 Yes, You Can Shower With Permanent Jewelry
There’s no need to take your jewelry off (and you couldn’t even if you wanted to!). You can safely shower, wash your hands, and go about your daily routine with your chain on. Our high-quality materials are water-resistant and meant for continuous wear.
🌊 What About Swimming?
Swimming is fine too! That said, highly chlorinated pools or hot tubs can occasionally affect the look of your jewelry — especially sterling silver. You might notice a bit of dullness or a temporary color change after frequent exposure.
Don’t worry — it’s not tarnish, and it’s easy to fix. Just make a paste using baking soda and vinegar, then gently scrub your jewelry with a soft-bristled toothbrush. Rinse it thoroughly and pat it dry — you’ll see the shine come right back!
☀️ Tips for Keeping Your Jewelry Looking Its Best

Give it a gentle polish every now and then for extra sparkle.
