Peut-on dormir avec ses bijoux ? Ce qu’il faut savoir.

Is it okay to sleep in your jewelry? What you need to know.

Many people wear their jewelry day and night without a second thought. But is it really advisable to sleep in your jewelry? Even though our stainless steel and gold-plated jewelry is durable, there are some precautions to take to keep it looking beautiful and shiny for as long as possible. 💫

1. Sleeping with your jewelry: the risks to be aware of 😴

Even though it may seem harmless, sleeping in your jewelry can eventually cause:

  • Deformations : chains or bracelets can bend or catch on sheets.
  • Scratches : repeated friction against the mattress or skin can dull the shine.
  • Losses : a clasp can open during the night without you realizing it.
  • Skin irritations : especially if you sweat during your sleep.

👉 Our stainless steel and gold-plated jewelry is made to last, but even the strongest materials deserve a little rest!

2. Why it's better to remove your jewelry before sleeping 🌙

Removing your jewelry before going to sleep allows you to:

  • Prolong their shine by avoiding unnecessary rubbing.
  • Protect delicate chains or pendants.
  • To limit the risk of irritation or small marks on the skin.

In addition, this allows your skin to breathe naturally at night — which is especially important if you wear tight necklaces or bracelets.

3. Exceptions: when can we keep them? 💍

Our Rélia stainless steel jewelry is water-resistant, sweat-resistant, and suitable for everyday wear . So you can keep them if:

  • You take a short nap or a quiet night.
  • You are wearing small, lightweight earrings .
  • Your jewelry fits well and is unlikely to snag.

But for everyday use, it's best to remove them before going to bed.

  • Avoid layering multiple pieces of jewelry on top of each other.
  • Clean them quickly if you have sweated during the day.
