    No, most experts say you shouldn't wear Van Cleef Arpels mother-of-pearl jewelry or any other fine jewelry in the shower. Although water may not damage a piece, chemicals in soap, body wash, shampoo, conditioner and other toiletries may harm mother-of-pearl and precious metals. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of Van Cleef and Arpels jewelry.
