Is Augusta Bohemian Jewellery Suitable for Everyday Wear and Water Exposure?
Updated
Augusta Bohemian Jewellery is designed for everyday wear, and the site includes a dedicated Waterproof Jewellery collection. However, "waterproof" is not a blanket claim across every piece. Suitability depends on the specific material of the item you choose, so the practical answer is: yes for daily wear in general, and yes for water exposure only when the individual product is made from a water-tolerant material such as gold stainless steel.
What the brand says about everyday wear
The studio describes its output as "everyday jewellery with a touch of magic," with pieces "designed to be worn every day." That positioning is consistent across the site: the collections lean toward dainty, layerable items rather than occasion-only statement pieces.
Augusta Jewellery is a small independent studio based in Somerset. Each piece is made in-house and posted in eco-friendly packaging, so the "everyday" framing reflects how the jewellery is intended to be used rather than a marketing slogan layered on top of fragile products.
Water exposure: what to check per item
The site maintains a Waterproof Jewellery collection, which is the clearest signal that some pieces are built to tolerate water. Beyond that collection, you need to look at the material listed on the product page.
A concrete example is the Bobble Chain Anklet, described as a dainty anklet with bobble beads, "perfect for the beach." Its listed material is gold stainless steel, and it comes in 8 or 10 inch lengths with a 2 inch extender. Stainless steel is the kind of material that supports the beach/water use the description implies.
By contrast, other pieces on the site are described by gemstone rather than metal — for example:
| Item | Listed price | Material signal |
|---|---|---|
| Moonstone Raindrop Earrings | $53.00 | Moonstone (sold out) |
| Larimar Necklace | $44.00 | Larimar |
| Chunky Strawberry Quartz Necklace | $38.00 | Strawberry quartz |
| Herkimer Diamond Necklace | $44.00 | Herkimer diamond |
For these, the page evidence shows the stone but not a waterproof claim, so treat water tolerance as unconfirmed unless the product page states it.
How to decide before you buy
- Start with the Waterproof Jewellery collection if swimming, showering, or beach wear is a priority.
- Open the individual product page and read the materials line. Gold stainless steel is the material explicitly tied to a beach-friendly piece in the available evidence.
- Check the collection the item sits in — Talismans & Amulets, Earrings, Charm Necklaces, and Gold Vermeil are separate collections, and gold vermeil is typically a plated finish rather than a solid water-proof metal.
- Look for care or material notes on the page before assuming a gemstone piece can handle repeated water exposure.
Practical caveats
- "Waterproof" on the site applies to a collection, not automatically to every product. A gemstone necklace and a stainless steel anklet are not interchangeable on this point.
- Gold vermeil is gold-plated sterling silver. Plated finishes generally warrant more caution around water and abrasion than solid stainless steel, so keep that distinction in mind when browsing that collection.
- The site offers a newsletter signup with 10% off a first order, which is useful if you want to test one piece before committing to a full everyday set.
If everyday wear and water resistance are your main criteria, filter your browsing to the Waterproof Jewellery collection and confirm the metal on each product page. For gemstone-led pieces, assume normal jewellery care applies unless the page says otherwise.
