Water generally does not hurt precious metal, but it will increase the likelyhood of tarnish over time, and it's recommended that you remove your jewellery before you wash your hands. Also do not wear it while swimming in chlorine or salty water, as the salt and chlorine IS damaging and it will slowly eat away at the metal. If you do get tarnish, simply dab some fluorite toothpaste and rub it in with some water. Rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry, and your jewellery should shine like new.
