Okay, so folks are always asking about wearing their Kendra Scott necklaces in the shower. I’ve thought about this a bit, you know, ’cause I’ve got a couple of pieces myself.
Now, I’ve heard some chatter, people saying, “Oh yeah, the demi-fine stuff, the sterling silver, the gold-plated ones, they can totally handle water.” And sure, maybe for a quick splash, they won’t just fall apart on you. I get it. The company might even say it’s okay for some types.
But here’s what I actually do, and what I’ve stuck to. I just don’t do it. Simple as that. It’s not really about whether it can survive a shower, but more about keeping it looking its best for longer. I paid good money for my necklace, and I want it to stay shiny, you know?
My Shower Routine with My Kendra Scott
So, here’s the drill for me, every single time:
- Before I even turn on the water, I make a point to take off my necklace. I find a safe spot for it, usually a little dish on my dresser, away from the steamy bathroom.
- Then I go ahead, do my whole shower thing – shampoo, conditioner, body wash, the works. All those products, even the steam, I just figure it’s better they don’t hang out on my jewelry.
- Once I’m out and completely dry, like towel-dried and maybe even aired out for a minute, that’s when I’ll pick up my necklace and put it back on.
It might sound like a little extra effort, but honestly, it takes like, ten seconds. And I’ve been doing this for a while now. My reasoning is pretty straightforward. Even if the metal is pretty durable, think about all the stuff in your shower products. Shampoos, soaps, even just the minerals in tap water over time, they can build up. I’ve heard, and it makes sense, that things like chlorine (if you’re thinking about pools, which is a definite no-go for me with jewelry on) and even some hair products can make any metal, not just Kendra Scott, look a bit dull over time. It’s like a film that builds up, and who wants that?
It’s just a good habit, really. Not just for Kendra Scott, but for any decent jewelry I own. I’ve learned that removing pieces before showering, or swimming, or even when I’m about to do some serious exercise and get all sweaty, it just helps preserve them. Keeps them looking top-notch, as they say.
So yeah, while some might say you can technically wear certain pieces in the shower, I always choose to take mine off. It’s just my way of taking care of things I like. Better safe than sorry, right? That’s my two cents from what I actually do day in and day out.
