As you know Swarovski uses gold, rhodium, and palladium finishes over its necklaces and other products. So the jewelry is not real gold but the metals are usually plated and PVD coated.

The answer is no. Metals of Swarovski jewelry are alloy rhodium-plated and gold-plated, not real sterling silver. However, the brand’s jewelry is superior in terms of design and style, as well as the one-of-a-kind crystal hue.

Swarovski necklaces are created through the chemical coating of metals and crystals. So they need special care and proper maintenance if you want to make them survive for long. 

To keep your jewelry in its original, shiny state, polish it quite carefully with a soft cloth frequently. It will help maintain crystal brilliance by avoiding discoloration and metal tarnishing due to water contact.

Swarovski necklaces aren’t waterproof so it’s a bad idea if you’re thinking of it. Given everything we’ve discussed this far, exposing your Swarovski jewelry to shower soaps, shampoos, and conditioners, as well as washing it in chlorite-rich water, is something that will reduce the life of metal plating. So it’s not suggested. 

This isn’t odd, though, because any other crystal would require the same level of care. However, Swarovski crystals have a chemical coating that can tarnish more easily than other natural crystals. You can’t carry them improperly on an everyday basis or expose your crystal necklaces to sweat, fragrances, detergents, cosmetics, and sun lotions. I’d also advise you to take off your Swarovski jewelry before going to bed to save your necklace crystal from getting scratches on.
