We do not recommend that any fine jewelry be worn in public swimming pools or hot tubs. Chlorine is a corrosive chemical – it won’t do any harm to diamonds, rubies, sapphires, and some other gemstones, but it is not good for your white or yellow gold or sterling silver. Chlorine can also discolor and prematurely wear out your watch – even watches rated to be underwater.
Hot tubs are worse than pools because in addition to harsh chemicals, you have the addition of high temperatures and the pressure of the water coming out of the jets. We do not recommend that any jewelry or watches be worn in hot tubs. Even watches that are rated to go under water to some degree can be infiltrated by the water coming out of the jets. Hot tubs are great for humans but not for your jewelry and watches. Take the little bit of extra time to remove your jewelry and watches before you get in. Let us be your Frisco / McKinney Pool Service!
