5 Best Workout Jewelry Pieces That Won’t Tarnish or Slip

What Makes the Best Workout Jewelry?

Not all jewelry is made to keep up with your movement. If you’ve ever had a chain stick to your neck mid-sweat session or found green tarnish on your skin after a “waterproof” workout, you know what we mean. The best workout jewelry isn’t just about looking good—it’s about feeling good and moving freely.

And sweat? It’s a good thing. According to Women’s Health, sweating boosts blood flow for faster recovery, supports your immune system, and even improves your mood. So rather than avoiding it, we lean into it—with jewelry that’s built to thrive in the elements.

Tula Blue was made for this. Our pieces are handcrafted on nautical-grade rope—yes, actual sailboat whipping twine. That means every necklace, bracelet, and anklet is designed to handle sweat, salt, surf, and showers.

Unlike metal or gold-plated jewelry, Tula Blue doesn't tarnish, flake, or leave behind any of that funky green residue. There’s no clasp to fumble with, no grime-trapping chains, and no stress. Just strong, weightless jewelry you can truly live in—before, during, and after your workout.

Real Talk: Not All “Waterproof Jewelry” Is Created Equal

We’ve heard it over and over: people buy something labeled as “sweat-proof” or “beach-proof” only to have it turn green or rusty after a few wears. We have personally tested + worn several “tarnish-free” brands and found many don’t live up to the hype. Most tarnish-free jewelry is made from inexpensive base metals, such as brass or stainless steel, which are coated with a protective layer to prevent tarnish. However, over time, this coating can wear off, leaving the base metal exposed and prone to tarnishing.

Tula Blue is different. No plating to peel. No green residue. Just strong, hand-spun rope and real pearls or stones. Whether you're lifting, swimming, dancing, or sprinting through your day, this is jewelry that stays comfortable, clean, and beautiful—just like you.
