Why a Pop of Blue on Your Ears Is So Summer Coded

ree

If summer were a color, it’d be ocean blue—and if it were an accessory, it’d definitely be waterproof earrings that shine just like the sea. Whether you’re beach-bound or brunching poolside, adding a bold pop of color on your ears (especially in dreamy shades of blue) is the statement of the season. It’s giving mermaid energy. It’s giving effortlessly put-together. And it’s giving jewelry that doesn’t make your skin turn green no matter how hot it gets.


Blue Is the New Gold (But You Can Have Both)

Vibrant blue stones, enamel, or glass on your lobes instantly elevate your outfit—even if it’s just a bikini and SPF. These summer-coded shades play perfectly with warm skin, tan lines, and golden hour selfies. And when your earrings are made with waterproof anti tarnish jewelry materials like gold plated stainless steel, you can wear them from waves to rooftop dinners without a single worry.


Let’s Talk Waterproof Everything

No one has time to take off jewelry before swimming or sweating. That’s why waterproof jewelry is a non-negotiable in your summer stack. From sweat-proof jewelry for those hot yoga mornings to ocean proof jewelry that holds up through every salty dip, it's all about looking cute without compromising durability.


So, is stainless steel waterproof? Yes! Especially when it’s high-quality and finished with PVD gold.


What is PVD Gold?

PVD gold (aka Physical Vapor Deposition gold) is a next-level coating technique that bonds gold particles to stainless steel in a vacuum environment. The result? A strong, fade-resistant finish that’s WAY more durable than regular plating. That means gold plated stainless steel using PVD technology creates waterproof earrings, waterproof rings, and necklaces that can literally take the heat (and the waves).


But Wait—Does Gold Stainless Steel Tarnish?

Not when it’s done right. High-quality gold stainless steel with PVD coating is designed to resist tarnishing, even in humid or salty environments. So yes, your favorite beach-safe hoops are built to last through vacay after vacay.


Sensitive Skin? You’re Safe Here

We get it—bold color means nothing if it leaves your ears itchy or irritated. That’s why summer-friendly earrings need to also be jewelry that is hypoallergenic and jewelry that is safe for sensitive skin. Stainless steel is naturally nickel-free, and PVD gold won’t flake off and expose cheap base metals. Translation: No redness, no rash—just compliments.


Is Gold Filled Jewelry Waterproof?

Gold filled jewelry is more water-resistant than standard gold plating, but it’s not quite as durable as PVD gold plated stainless steel. While you can wear gold filled jewelry in light water exposure, like quick hand washes or a little summer sweat, it’s best to avoid pools or oceans if you want it to last. If you're looking for true beach safe jewelry, go the PVD route.


New Jewelry Trends: Color Is the Moment

Aside from classic gold, new jewelry trends this season are leaning all the way into colorful enamel, ceramic, and gemstones. Think bright turquoise, royal blue, and cobalt—yes, blue earrings are basically the statement piece of summer 2025.


Work-Friendly, But Make It Pop

Want something that feels playful but still office-approved? A subtle blue stud or hoop adds a fun pop without going overboard. And because these pieces are designed as work friendly jewelry and everyday jewelry, you can wear them from 9 to happy hour without changing a thing.


Best Waterproof Jewelry for Beach Weddings

Attending a beach wedding? Or maybe saying “I do” in the sand? The best waterproof jewelry for beach weddings includes delicate blue gemstone earrings, subtle gold-plated accents, and of course, anything made from waterproof jewelry that’s tarnish free. Bonus points if they match your bouquet or the ocean backdrop.


Why Blue? Why Now?

Because summer is short, your jewelry shouldn’t be. This season’s shade of choice is bold, bright, and unapologetically blue. Paired with waterproof anti tarnish jewelry made for real life—sweat, waves, sunscreen, and all—you’ve got yourself the ultimate hot girl summer accessory.
