If you've ever had your favourite gold necklace turn green or noticed your rings losing their shine after washing your hands, you're not alone.
The struggle of keeping jewellery looking pristine, especially when it's exposed to water, sweat, or everyday wear, is real. But, tarnish-free, waterproof jewellery isn't slapped with a huge price tag anymore! Thanks to some of our favourite brands, it's now more affordable and accessible than ever.
Tarnishing happens when the metal reacts with air, moisture, or chemicals, leading to discoloration. For gold and silver jewellery, tarnishing often means dullness, loss of shine, or that green-ish tint on your skin.
But, waterproof pieces are made with advanced materials and modern plating techniques that resist tarnishing and withstand moisture, ensuring your jewellery stays looking like new.
Whether it's a sleek gold chain, a stack of rings, or a pair of hoops, you can now wear your favourite pieces every day without the constant worry of fading or discoloration.
Bijoux De Mimi is a brand known for its colourful designs and has become hugely popular with Gen Z. All its pieces are made using 18k PVD electroplated stainless steel, making them water-resistant and hypoallergenic. We love this Y-shaped necklace with turquoise stones that works layered with gold chains or alone as a statement piece. BUY NOW FOR £35.50
No jewellery collection should be without a pair of classic gold hoop earrings and these ones from Hey Harper have won our hearts. Featuring a beautiful patterned finish to make them a little more interesting, they are lightweight enough to wear all day, super shiny and come with a lifetime colour warranty so you don't have to worry about getting them wet! BUY NOW FOR £55
For subtle, everyday jewellery that won't let you down, try Atolea and specifically its Daily Rings Set. Consisting of a delicate hammered, beaded, and twisted design, this set looks great stacked together or worn separately.

Fancy winning over £250 worth of SPF goodies from Hello Sunday? Here's how
Metro journalists select and curate the products that feature on our site. If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission – learn more Hey, you… yes you! How would you like to win over £250 worth of gorgeous Hello Sunday treats? Forget the thick, greasy sunscreens of the past, this UK-based brand is all about lightweight, skin-loving formulas that slot into your routine without any fuss. The packaging is cute, the names are playful (like 'The One That's a Serum'), and the products do more than just protect you from the sun – they also shield your skin from pollution and blue light. How good is that? Better yet, they're vegan, cruelty-free, and packed with good-for-you ingredients like hyaluronic acid and vitamin C. Basically, they've taken all the boring bits out of SPF and made it something you'll actually want to wear every day – which, we hate to remind you, but you should be doing all year round too. Now we've teamed up with Hello Sunday to give one of you over £250 worth of goodies, including 'The One That's A Serum' (worth £23), and 'The Mineral One SPF 50' (worth £26). The ultra-light, glow-giving formula that 'The Mineral One SPF' has is basically skincare's answer to a triple-shot oat latte: hydrating, energising, and totally addictive. It glides on like a dream (no chalky cast in sight), leaving your skin dewy, calm, and ready to face the day. Packed with antioxidant-rich Kukui Oil and vitamin E, it's like a mini shield for your face – fighting off free radicals, smoothing fine lines, and helping to fade dark spots while you get on with your life. And thanks to hyaluronic acid, your skin stays plump and juicy whether it's heatwave season or mid-winter chill. Fragrance-free, featherlight, and designed for everyday wear, this is SPF that works hard without showing off. Just like you. Someone called 'PinkLady' from Belfast hailed it 'perfection for sensitive rosacea skin', and went on to add: 'This is perfect for easily dehydrated, sensitive rosacea-prone skin that reacts to most chemical sunscreens. It's very emollient, which is not pleasant at first, but dries to a nice satin finish. Minimal white cast. I'm also acne prone, and this caused no breakouts.' Martha followed suit and also mentioned that it was a 'great option for deeper skin tones', and went on to say: 'For reference I'm a Fitzpatrick 6. I use 1 pipette full (1/2 suggested amount) with 1 finger of mineral sunscreen (1/2 recommended amount) to get full factor 50 coverage. Mineral sunscreens do have a white tint as they are white pigments but going it this way I do not get a white cast. I have told all my black friends about this as white cast is our regular struggle. This has saved me so much time with not having to apply makeup to make a mineral sunscreen work for me.' If you're looking for a standout product, try 'The One That's a Serum SPF 50'. This featherlight SPF 50 serum is the kind of overachiever we love – moisturiser, sunscreen, and glow-booster all rolled into one sleek little bottle. It's packed with antioxidants, brightening vitamin C, and plumping hyaluronic acid, so your skin gets a hit of hydration, protection, and radiance in one go. No white cast, or greasy finish either – just smooth, dewy skin that looks like it's had eight hours of sleep and a green juice. It sinks in like a serum (because it is one) and works hard behind the scenes to fend off UV rays, pollution, and those pesky early signs of ageing. Basically, it's your skincare routine—streamlined, simplified, and seriously effective. All-year-round glow? Sorted. Below you'll find the list of all the products you can win. The Everyday One Moisturiser SPF 50 – worth £18 The One That's a Serum SPF 50 – worth £23 The Take Out One Invisible Sun Stick SPF 30 – worth £20.00 The One For Your Lips SPF 50 – worth £8 The One For Your Hands SPF 30 – worth £10 The One For Your Eyes SPF 50 – worth £18 The Illuminating One SPF 50 – worth £23 The Mineral One SPF 50 – worth £26 The Rose One Tinted Lip Balm SPF 50 – worth £10 The Mauve One Tinted Lip Balm SPF 50 – worth £10 The Everyday One Mineral Moisturiser SPF 50 – worth £24 Recovery One Mask – worth £19 The Everyday One Moisturiser SPF 50 75ml – worth £24 The One For Your Body SPF 30 – worth £18 It's worth mentioning that this competition ends on June 13, so what are you waiting for?
