High corrosion resistance；High hardness and wear resistance；No nickel and environmentally friendly, low allergenicity

In the field of fashion jewelry, stainless steel jewelry has gradually become a favored choice for consumers due to its durability, beauty, and high cost-effectiveness. Whether for daily wear or personalized styling, stainless steel jewelry can be adapted to various scenarios with diverse styles. The underlying material characteristics and practical knowledge behind it are crucial for purchasing and maintenance.

The core advantages of stainless steel jewelry stem from its special material composition. The mainstream used 304 stainless steel and 316L stainless steel (medical-grade stainless steel) are the industry's first choice. The two have different focuses in performance:

High corrosion resistance: Stainless steel contains a chromium content of ≥10.5%, and the chromium element forms a dense oxide chromium protective film on the surface of the jewelry, which can effectively resist the erosion of air, moisture, sweat, and daily detergents, preventing rust or fading, especially 316L stainless steel, due to the addition of molybdenum, has better corrosion resistance than 304 stainless steel, and is suitable for long-term wearing.

High hardness and wear resistance: Compared to silver jewelry and copper jewelry, stainless steel has higher hardness (Mohs hardness is approximately 5.5-6), is not prone to deformation or scratching, and does not require excessive caution during daily wear, with a lifespan of several years or even longer.

No nickel and environmentally friendly, low allergenicity: High-quality stainless steel jewelry (especially 316L grade) uses nickel-free or low-nickel processes, reducing the skin allergy problems caused by nickel elements, and is suitable for people with sensitive skin to wear for a long time.

Rich texture, easy to shape: Stainless steel can be polished, brushed, sandblasted, electroplated (such as rose gold, black gold, white gold) through various processes, presenting mirror-like luster, matte texture or colorful appearance, and can create simple lines, complex carvings, and other diverse designs, suitable for light luxury, streetwear, retro, etc. different fashion styles.
