The advantages of stainless steel over brass and silver jewelry
Have you ever purchased a beautiful piece of silver jewelry, only to find that it became dull and discolored after a few wears? You won’t encounter this problem with stainless steel jewelry with an 18K gold coating. In this blog post, we’ll explore the benefits of stainless steel over brass and silver, with a focus on sustainability, coating processes, and eco-friendliness.
Durability and long-term use
Stainless steel is known for its durability and longevity. Unlike silver, which can easily scratch and tarnish, and brass, which is prone to discoloration, stainless steel will continue to look beautiful for years. This material is waterproof, hypoallergenic, and easy to maintain. Whether you’re taking a walk in the rain or taking a dip in the pool, your stainless steel jewelry will continue to shine.
High-quality coating: PVD plating
One of the aspects that makes stainless steel so special is the use of PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coating. This advanced process involves depositing a thin layer of metal onto a base material using a vacuum process. The result? A coating that is much more durable and wear-resistant than traditional plating methods.
How does it work?
With PVD coating, the base metal, such as stainless steel, is placed in a vacuum chamber. A metal or metal compound is then vaporized and condenses on the base material, creating a strong, resistant layer. This significantly increases the lifespan of your jewelry.
Thanks to PVD coating, stainless steel jewelry is more resistant to scratches and wear, meaning it lasts longer and retains its original beauty.
Eco-Friendly Choice
Stainless steel is not only good for you, but also for the planet. The material is fully recyclable, meaning old jewelry can be given a new life without the need for new raw materials. In addition, stainless steel requires less maintenance than silver and brass, which helps save cleaning products and valuable time.
More durable than brass and silver
-
Brass : While brass is a popular choice for jewelry, it is prone to discoloration and tarnishing, meaning it requires frequent polishing and cleaning.
-
Silver requires a lot of maintenance to prevent tarnishing and scratches easily, which limits the lifespan of your jewelry.
-
Stainless steel is resistant to scratches, corrosion and tarnishing, and requires much less maintenance than its counterparts.
Practical benefits for everyday use
Stainless steel is denser than silver, making it feel heavier. To balance this weight, we make many of our pieces hollow, making them lighter and more comfortable to wear. Additionally, stainless steel is highly water-resistant, which is ideal for hot summer days or if you like to wear jewelry in the shower.
