Stainless steel jewellery vs. the gym workout

Any sweat from your gym workout generally won’t damage stainless steel, as it is a highly corrosion-resistant metal. Stainless steel's chromium oxide layer, which forms naturally on its surface, provides protection against the effects of sweat and other environmental factors.

However, keep in mind while swimming or in a chlorinated environment, the combination of sweat and pool chemicals may have a more significant impact on stainless steel jewellery. Chlorine can be harsh on some metals, including stainless steel, and may cause minor discoloration or affect the jewellery’s shine.

To keep your stainless steel jewellery in excellent condition and minimize any potential effects of sweat:

• Rinse your jewellery with clean water (under the shower is fine)
• Pat it dry with your towel after sweating or swimming
• If you've noticed any dullness in your jewellery, you can periodically clean with dishwashing and gently polish the jewellery to restore its shine

Overall, stainless steel is a durable and resilient material, and exposure to sweat should not pose any significant risks to its integrity. Proper care and maintenance can help keep your stainless steel jewellery looking great for a long time.
