When it comes to accessorizing for your workout, finding earrings that can keep up with your active lifestyle is key. The last thing you want is for your favorite jewelry to tarnish, irritate your skin, or fall out during a sweat session. That's where a carefully curated, sweat-proof and waterproof earring stack comes in! In this guide, we’ll walk you through the best materials to wear, styles to choose, and tips to keep your earrings looking great during and after your workout or run.
Materials to Avoid
Not all metals are created equal, especially when it comes to running or intense workouts. Here are a few materials you should avoid:
-
Brass: While it might look chic, brass is prone to tarnishing when exposed to sweat and moisture. It can also cause skin irritation for some people.
-
Copper: Copper reacts with sweat and air, leading to unsightly discoloration (and that dreaded green stain on your skin). It’s best to skip copper altogether for workout wear.
Workout-Approved Materials
For a truly durable, sweat-proof, and waterproof earring stack, opt for these materials:
-
Stainless Steel: Known for its durability and resistance to tarnishing, stainless steel is a fantastic option for active days.
-
Titanium: Lightweight and hypoallergenic, titanium is perfect for sensitive ears and ensures your earrings will stand the test of time—even during high-intensity workouts or long runs.
At Smoothie London, we prioritize high-quality materials like stainless steel and titanium in our designs, so you can focus on your fitness without worrying about your jewelry.

Tips for Maintaining Your Earrings
-
Clean After Every Workout or Run: Wipe your earrings down with a soft, damp cloth to remove sweat and keep them looking their best.
-
Choose a Secure Fit: Opt for earrings with clicker or screw-back closures to ensure they stay put during even the most rigorous activities.
-
Store Them Safely: When you’re not wearing your earrings, store them in a clean, dry place to prevent tarnishing.
