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.
