Waterproof Jewellery with Gold Plating — Gold That Stays Gold
ION Gold on 316L Surgical Steel — Waterproof by Design
Waterproof Jewellery with Gold Plating — DANSK Copenhagen gold waterproof jewellery is made from 316L surgical steel finished with ION plating — a process that bonds gold directly onto the steel at a molecular level with far greater force than standard plating. The result is a harder, more wear-resistant finish that holds its colour through water, sweat, and daily wear. Shower, swim, and sweat without taking it off.
Why ION Gold Outlasts Standard Gold Plating
Standard gold-plated jewellery places a thin layer of gold over a brass base. Brass tarnishes over time, which causes the gold finish to lift and fade. DANSK Copenhagen gold designs work differently — the 316L steel base cannot tarnish, so nothing works against the gold from underneath. The ION process locks the gold on with greater force, creating a finish that is harder and more resistant to daily wear.
Nickel-Free & Hypoallergenic
All DANSK Copenhagen gold waterproof designs are completely nickel-free and hypoallergenic — safe for sensitive skin and designed for all-day, every-day wear without irritation.

316L Stainless Steel — Designed for Water
Every DANSK Copenhagen design is made from 316L stainless steel — a grade so corrosion-resistant it holds its finish through showers, swimming, sweat, and salt water without a second thought. No removing before the pool. No storing away before the gym. Fully waterproof means exactly that — wear it and forget it.
Why 316L Steel Is Truly Waterproof
Most jewellery tolerates water. DANSK Copenhagen jewellery is designed for it. The 316L grade adds molybdenum to the steel alloy — the same reason it is known as marine grade. It resists salt, chlorine, and daily moisture at a level lower grades simply cannot match. Choose from gold plated jewellery finished with ION plating, or silver jewellery where the tone runs all the way through the metal. Both waterproof. Both permanent.

FAQ
Is all DNSK jewellery waterproof?
Yes — every DNSK piece is made from 316L stainless steel, which is fully waterproof and corrosion-resistant. Wear it in the shower, swimming, or at the gym without compromise.
Can I wear DNSK jewellery in salt water?
Yes — 316L stainless steel is known as marine grade for a reason. It resists salt, chlorine, and daily moisture at a level lower grades cannot match. Rinse with fresh water after prolonged exposure to the sea as good practice.
Will the gold finish hold up in water?
Yes — DNSK gold jewellery is finished with 18K ION plating, which bonds directly onto the 316L steel with far greater force than standard gold plating. The steel base cannot tarnish, so nothing works against the gold from underneath.
