Can You Wear Jewelry in Monsoon? Tanishtra’s Waterproof Test
Across India, monsoon brings much-needed relief from the heat but the season also brings humidity, sweat, and constant exposure to moisture. However, those who love accessories, and bears the occasional downpour while going for work or outing, always have one question in mind during monsoon- Should I wear those stylish pieces or take them off?
Can we wear jewelry during the monsoon?
Absolutely yes—but only if the jewelry is waterproof and can handle sweat and humidity.
Why Does Jewelry Turns Dull or Become Discoloured During the Monsoon?
The real culprit is skin chemistry. The jewelry pieces are constantly exposed to oxygen in the environment. Fashion Jewelry are usually made up of copper or metal alloys which undergoes a chemical reaction when it reacts with the moisture/sweat on your skin and pollutants in the air. During monsoon humidity can stay consistently high (around 70%-90%) for weeks at a time, providing the perfect opportunity for tarnishing as well as discoloration.
That’s why your favorite fashion jewelry starts losing its shine after a few rainy days out. Neck chains go dull, your bracelet changes color, and your rings even leave stains on your skin.
Wearing Jewelry in the rain is not the problem. Wearing jewelry that’s not designed for monsoon is the problem. Remember monsoon is the most demanding wear conditions any jewellery will ever face.
What Makes Waterproof Jewelry Different?
Waterproof jewelry is crafted to prevent fading, tarnishing, and corrosion – even when exposed to elements like water and sweat. There are three pre-requisites for any piece of jewelry to become waterproof- Base material, coating and plating.
A well-engineered fashion Jewelry should be made from 316L stainless steel with PVD coating, which can comfortably handle rain, sweat, and daily urban wear. At Tanishtra, we combine the above surgical-grade stainless steel with a vacuum-sealed PVD coating to curate signature Jewelry for men & women. The result is a molecular bond that makes our all-Jewelry pieces totally pass the sweatproof & waterproof test.
What Is 316L Surgical-Grade Stainless Steel?
Simply put, 316L stainless steel is a high-grade metal that’s very resistant to moisture, has a longer shine and lasts longer than regular alloy-based jewelry. They are comfortable to wear every day.
What Is PVD Coating and Why Does It Matter?
PVD stands for Physical Vapor Deposition. This premium coating process bonds the jewelry’s finish to its metal surface on a molecular level. Regular jewelry coatings can start to peel the more you wear them – but PVD can’t be scraped off.
Is Monsoon-Friendly Fashion Jewelry Possible?
In Short. Yes. Modern day jewelry-making process has transformed how Genzie wear accessories. The right materials and manufacturing processes can make jewelry suitable for everyday use—even during Monsoon.
At Tanishtra, every piece is handmade with a signature style, and real-world wearability in mind. Whether you're commuting through city traffic, attending a business meeting, enjoying a weekend outing, statement fashion jewelry shouldn't be something you remove when the rain starts—it should be something you confidently wear through every season.
