Is it safe to wear jewelry to work without damaging it?

Between hours spent in the office, travel, friction against clothing, perspiration, and repeated use of hands, one question often arises: can we wear our jewelry at work without damaging it?

The answer is yes… provided you choose the right jewelry . In this article, we'll explain which pieces of jewelry can truly withstand a workday, which are more likely to wear out quickly, and how to make the right choices to combine elegance, comfort, and durability, like the jewelry offered by Rélia Bijoux .

Why work can damage jewelry

A typical workday exposes jewelry to numerous stresses:

• repeated friction (desk, keyboard, clothing)
• constant hand movements
• heat and perspiration
• sometimes water or everyday products

These factors often explain why my jewelry doesn't last long , especially when it's not designed for prolonged wear.

Not all jewelry is suitable for work.

Costume jewelry, often made from fragile alloys, does not withstand the stresses of a full day well.

They can tarnish, deform or break, which relates to the issues discussed in costume jewelry vs stainless steel: which to choose .

For work, it's best to choose jewelry designed for everyday wear.

Stainless steel: the best ally in the office 💪

Stainless steel is particularly recommended for wearing jewelry at work.

It resists friction, moisture and perspiration, which is why stainless steel jewelry does not rust .

This is also why it is often cited as the best material for everyday jewelry .

What types of jewelry should I wear to work?

To avoid damaging your jewelry, choose styles such as:

• discreet and well-fitting
• Solid and well-finished
• comfortable for extended wear

Minimalist jewelry is ideal for the office, as explained in jewelry to wear at work: elegance and discretion .

Comfort and skin at work 🤍

Wearing jewelry all day at work means prolonged contact with the skin.

Some metals can cause itching or irritation, especially when sweating. This relates to the topics of why my jewelry scratches my skin and why my jewelry gives me allergies .

If this applies to you, the article "Which jewelry to choose when you have sensitive skin" can help you make the right choice.

Water, handwashing, and work 🚿

At work, we wash our hands often.

It's therefore important to wear jewelry that can withstand water. To better understand, you can read about which jewelry is water and sweat resistant and which jewelry can be worn in the shower .

Stainless steel jewelry is perfectly suited to these situations.

In certain situations, is it necessary to remove your jewelry at work?

Even with durable jewelry, some situations require caution.

If your job involves repetitive physical movements or significant exertion, it may be best to remove some jewelry, as explained in should you remove your jewelry to play sports .

The interview: essential after a day's work
