Best Jewelry for Workouts: Functional, Beautiful & Made for Women Who Move

Every year, on the last Wednesday of September, women nationwide celebrate National Women’s Health & Fitness Day.

For me, it’s more than just a calendar holiday — it’s a reminder of how movement, wellness, and freedom connect to everything I do, including how I design jewelry.

I built Tula Blue so that you never have to choose between style and function. You can throw on your favorite necklace, head to a Pvolve class, hop in the pool with your kids, or even take a trip to the beach — and your jewelry will keep up with you every step of the way.

That’s what I call functional jewelry - and it’s why Tula Blue has become the go-to brand for women who live in motion.

Why “Workout Jewelry” Matters

Most jewelry isn’t designed for real life. You’ve probably experienced it:

• A necklace that tarnishes after one sweaty run.
  
  

• A bracelet that breaks when it snags on a yoga mat.
  
  

• Rings that leave green marks on your skin after a swim.
  
  

That frustration is why I created Tula Blue. Our pieces are made with hand-spun rope and real pearls or stones, so they’re waterproof, sweat-proof, and life-proof.

They’re not just pretty accessories — they’re jewelry you can live in.

 

Side-by-side comparison of rope jewelry vs metal jewelry

Rope Jewelry vs. Metal Jewelry in the Gym

Let’s be honest: metal jewelry doesn’t belong at the gym or in a sauna. It gets hot, heavy, and tarnished in sweat. Rope jewelry is the opposite: lightweight, flexible, and strong — truly designed for the elements.

That’s why so many of our customers say they literally “never take it off.” You can lift weights, stretch into downward dog, or go from sauna to cold plunge, and your necklace feels like a natural extension of your body — not a worry.

👉 Featured Products:

• Pearl Princess Necklace — timeless bestseller, now in many pearl options.
  
  

• Crown Pearl Bracelet — simple, beautiful, and tough enough for the gym.

Functional Fitness Meets Functional Jewelry

One of the things I love most about the functional movement trend is how it’s redefining women’s fitness. Instead of chasing perfection, it’s about moving naturally, building strength, and preventing injuries.

That’s why I love Pvolve and their science-backed approach to functional training. Their philosophy matches ours at Tula Blue — build something that fits real life. Jewelry should move with you, just like your body does in a Pvolve class.

👉 Imagine stepping into a workout in leggings, tying your hair back, and feeling instantly polished with a Riptide Bracelet or Crown Pearl Anklet. No fuss, no fear of tarnish. Just beauty that moves with you.

The Joy of Connection: Matching Jewelry + Mom Life

As a mom of three boys, my days are full of movement. From school drop-offs to workouts, to markets and beach days, I don’t have time to switch out jewelry. That’s why I reach for Tula every morning.

But beyond practicality, jewelry connects me to the women in my life. Our Odyssey Pearl Collection is one of my favorites to gift — matching bracelets or anklets for moms, daughters, or friends who want a piece that symbolizes connection.

When I see mothers and daughters wearing the same rope and pearl stacks, it reminds me that jewelry is more than adornment — it’s a thread that ties us together.

Outdoor Adventure: Jewelry That Loves the Water

My design roots started in the ocean. Before launching Tula Blue, I lived in Hawaii, where the water is part of everyday life. I wanted jewelry I could wear in the surf, on the trail, or even while scuba diving.

That’s why we became a proud brand partner with PADI, the global scuba diving organization. Their mission to connect people with the ocean matches ours — to create jewelry that never has to come off, even under the sea.

👉 Featured Collections:

• Riptide Collection — bracelets, anklets, necklaces, and even adjustable necklace/hatband.
  
  

• Odyssey Pearl Collection — statement pieces that echo the pull of the tide.

Athleisure Jewelry: From Leggings to Lifestyle

Athleisure isn’t just a fashion trend — it’s a lifestyle. Women need clothes (and accessories) that can carry them from a morning workout to errands to dinner with friends.

That’s why Title Nine has been such an inspiration to me. They’ve built a brand around women who want to be comfortable and strong, while still looking beautiful. And I couldn’t be prouder that Tula Blue is becoming part of the Title Nine family.

Our jewelry was made for this exact lifestyle: functional, durable, and always chic.

👉 Try stacking:

• Crown Pearl Necklace + Princess Necklace for everyday elegance.
  
  

• Add a Riptide Anklet for a subtle sporty vibe.
  
  

• Finish with the Journey Bracelet for an effortless touch.
