Why choose stainless steel jewelry?

They are a huge success! Stainless steel jewelry has become a staple in the fashion and jewelry industry. This metal alloy can be found in rings, necklaces, bracelets and earrings. The jewelry industry swears by it! Moreover, at Rua Martine, we have also succumbed to this material that is both (very) resistant and economical. Focus on the benefits of stainless steel jewelry. We warn you: get ready to crack after reading this article!

What is stainless steel jewelry?

Stainless steel is an alloy of iron, carbon and chromium. The presence of the latter makes it possible to obtain a steel capable of resisting oxidation and rusting. The chromium produces an oxidized layer on the surface of the steel to prevent it from oxidizing. Stainless steel is used to create rings, necklaces, bracelets and earrings.

A stainless steel jewel is aesthetically pleasing, as well as being very practical. Particularly appreciated for its quality-price ratio, it also makes the creators of costume jewelry happy.

The advantages of a stainless steel jewel

Jewelry made of stainless steel continues to conquer the hearts of fashionistas. What are the secrets of such success? Here are the (many) advantages of these very fashionable accessories.

An unalterable metal

The stainless steel alloy is unbreakable and unchangeable. In other words, stainless steel jewelry is very resistant, even to water and perspiration. Unlike other costume jewelry, they do not leave a green mark on the skin and do not change color over time!

These qualities make it the ideal fashion ally for the beach, the pool or sports. In addition, stainless steel jewelry does not rust. So you can wear them in the shower, bathe with them, but also keep them on when you wash your hands. What to stay stylish in all circumstances, but also avoid losing our favorite jewelry in the bathroom of a restaurant or at the beach 😉

A light and resistant material

In addition to being corrosion resistant, stainless steel jewelry does not tarnish, unlike silver. They are also less flexible and deformable than gold, allowing them to retain their original shape over the long term. No more rushes or creoles that deform under the slightest pressure!

But beware, this resistance does not prevent them from being particularly light! The featherweight (or nearly so) of stainless steel makes it possible to create trendy and wearable pieces. This is especially appreciated when you like big earrings, bracelets or thick necklaces. Thanks to stainless steel, you can wear big jewels in a light way!

Fashion jewelry at very affordable prices

Quality + affordable prices = successful combo of stainless steel jewelry. And this is far from negligible for fashionistas who like to change their style and jewelry often.

Unlike gold, whose price – already high – is constantly increasing, stainless steel is affordable for everyone! It allows you to multiply your pleasures without feeling guilty. Looking for the perfect gift? Stainless steel jewelry is the ideal solution to offer a quality, durable and aesthetic piece, while respecting our wallet!

Stainless steel requires little maintenance

As you probably already know, gold and silver oxidize and blacken over time, and therefore need to be regularly cared for to avoid losing their shine. Stainless steel has the advantage of being much less demanding!

Indeed, since it does not change color and does not get damaged, there is no need to invest in specific products to maintain it: just a little hot water and white vinegar or Marseille soap to make them shine. You can also use baking soda for a deeper cleaning. In any case, don’t put too much pressure on yourself to maintain your stainless steel jewelry. Remember that they are unalterable!

An alloy that allows a wide variety of models and styles

Jewelry professionals appreciate working with stainless steel for its hot malleability. This makes it an ideal material for making unique and customizable pieces. Thus, stainless steel creations are available in different colors (gold, silver, pink, etc.) and shapes (rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, links, chains, etc.). At the key: vintage jewelry (link article), classic or original to satisfy all tastes!

Stainless steel jewelry can also be embellished with other materials, such as beads, stones or patterns for an even more fashionable look. This infinity of declinations allows this material of jewel to sublimate the women, but also the men, who are not in rest!

Jewelry allergy and stainless steel: the perfect combo!

Some skins are more sensitive than others. Thus, allergic reactions can occur upon contact with substances present in jewelry, whether gold, silver or costume jewelry. Itching and red patches are the most common symptoms of this skin condition. Of all the materials that can cause allergies, nickel is the best known.

Stainless steel jewelry is the solution for reactive and sensitive skin. Indeed, stainless steel is hypoallergenic. Although it may contain a small amount of nickel, the alloy is so strong that particles of this allergen are trapped. They do not come into contact with the skin and do not cause allergies or irritations.

A little tip for our Martinettes: if you have sensitive skin, be sure to opt for genuine stainless steel jewelry, made according to European standards. You will be sure of their quality and safety.
