Waterproof Jewelry: Their Lifetime Color Warranty, Not This Plating

Waterproof jewelry in a brand ad is a materials claim. On this shelf it is not one.

On 27 October 2026, Retail Jeweller reported that Hey Harper launched a collaboration with fashion designer Amari Carter. Hey Harper's own site lists the Morph bracelet at $104 and calls the line waterproof, with a lifetime color warranty on those product pages. Their 20 October 2026 release says the metal is marine-grade stainless steel with a 14k gold PVD coating, and that the designer drop was their first. I do not sell that bracelet. I do not offer a lifetime color warranty. I will not borrow their water test.

What gold tone means here

The listed unit is a Cuban hex-cut bracelet with a CZ cowboy clasp, steel, 9mm by 19cm, USD 16.99. The page calls it stainless fashion jewelry with plating. The stones on the clasp are cubic zirconia, not diamonds. 19cm is that unit's length, not a promise it fits your wrist. If a quote says gold tone and does not say solid gold, it is plating. Plating can dull. I do not publish a shower, pool, or saltwater rating for it.

A tennis line on the same shelf is the same kind of honesty: cubic zirconia tennis bracelet, steel tone, 4mm by 15.5cm, USD 27.99. Stones are cubic zirconia. Not a waterproof PVD piece at $104.

If you still want one made to a wrist

Open Custom Source. Send centimeters, clasp, finish, and the destination country. I reply with three lines: product, international shipping after weigh-in, and the service fee.

Accessory-only orders of the listed pieces to the US, Canada, the UK, Germany, or Japan usually carry free international freight in the shelf price. Elsewhere, freight after the carton is weighed. Import duty, if charged, is yours. After dispatch, many countries take about 7 to 15 business days. Customs can sit longer.

Before export, the agreed specs and the desk photos can sit on Proof: SHA-256 on the files, both sides Confirm, one /p link. Separate product. Not a water test, and not notarization.

The limit

A designer collab with a lifetime color warranty does not plate this bracelet, and it does not make fashion jewelry waterproof. If the quote does not say solid gold, it is not solid gold.
