Ocean wave jewelry is made with stainless steel, a metal that is resistant to tarnishing and rust. The alloying elements in stainless steel react with oxygen from water and air to form a thin, stable film that prevents corrosion.
Atolea Jewelry is based in Australia.
Solid gold, gold-filled, platinum, or sterling silver jewelry are more resistant to water and can handle ocean wear better. Plated jewelry should be avoided as the plating can wear off, and what's left can tarnish over time. Brass jewelry is not recommended for wearing in the ocean as it can tarnish and should be kept away from water.
Wearing 18k gold in the ocean is not advisable as saltwater easily corrodes most metals alloyed with gold.
