Is It A Bad Idea To Sleep With Necklaces On?
By CLARA MUCCI
As you’re getting ready for bed, you might’ve asked yourself if you need to take your necklace off. Whether you’re too tired to take the necklace off or you’re afraid of losing it, you’re probably better off taking it off so it doesn’t end up damaged or tangled in your hair.
Wearing a necklace while you sleep can damage it, gemstones can get scratched, and metals will wear down. Regularly sleeping with necklaces on can also cause skin irritation and unless it’s made from precious metal, it will likely trigger an allergic reaction.
There are some circumstances when it is okay to wear your necklace while you sleep, for instance, when you travel. If you do choose to sleep with your necklaces on, be sure to clean them regularly to avoid skin irritation.
