Yes — you can keep it on. That’s the whole point of Stylr. Because every piece is PVD-plated over a 316L surgical stainless steel core, it’s waterproof and won’t rust or tarnish.
The everyday answer
- Showering, washing your hands, sweating at the gym — all completely fine. No need to take anything off.
- Swimming — fine too. For pools (chlorine) and the ocean (salt), give your jewelry a 15-second rinse with fresh tap water afterward and pat it dry. Salt crystallizing in the chain links is the leading cause of mechanical wear, so this quick rinse is the single highest-impact care habit for keeping pieces looking and feeling new.
Why it holds up
Ordinary plated jewelry fails in water because thin electroplating wears through and the base metal underneath reacts. Stylr is different: the steel core doesn’t rust, and the PVD plating is molecularly bonded rather than just coated on, so daily water exposure doesn’t lift it.

The honest long view: PVD is extremely durable, but no plating is literally permanent. With the simple care in Caring for your Stylr jewelry, a piece worn daily keeps its color for years — and it’s backed by our 1-year warranty.
