Read about the advantages and history of stainless steel jewelry:
Stainless steel jewelry is not poured into molds like other softer alloys like gold or silver. Each piece is hand-cut from a solid piece of steel leaving no seams, or weak spots. Iron based alloys have a medical history extending over three hundred years. Corrosion resistant stainless steels were developed in the 18th century, containing a minimum of 10% chromium. As Technology developed, this unique surgical implant material evolved as well and achieved its inert characteristics through the formation of an invisible and adherent chromium-rich oxide surface film.
The most oxidization resistant steels are 300 series steels and are mostly used for material implants as well as for body jewelry. Our jewelry uses a high grade steel from 300 series called Grade316L, which do not release nickel salts into the body or induce contact nickel dermatitis.
All of our products are finished using a unique technique called Electro polishing, which is a sophisticated surface polishing technique, where electrochemical activity slowly takes away a thin surface layer from the jewelry surface, resulting in micro smoothing. The surface's result is extremely smooth, and appealing to the eye and touch.
