Stainless Steel Jewelry

Stainless Steel

At Tewellry Jewelry, we use high-quality stainless steel for some of our designs. Stainless steel is a popular choice for jewelry due to its strength, durability, and resistance to tarnishing. Here’s what you should know about the quality of stainless steel used in our pieces:

Durability

  • Stainless steel is highly durable and resistant to scratches, corrosion, and tarnishing. It maintains its finish over time, even with daily wear.

  • Unlike softer metals like silver, stainless steel is much more resistant to damage and can withstand regular contact with water, sweat, and harsh environments.

Hypoallergenic

  • Stainless steel is hypoallergenic, making it an excellent option for those with sensitive skin or allergies to other metals like nickel or brass.

  • It is a non-reactive material that won’t cause irritation or discoloration.

Resistance to Tarnishing

  • Stainless steel does not tarnish like silver or other metals. It is resistant to oxidation, so it won’t lose its shine or color over time.

  • It’s an ideal metal for long-lasting, low-maintenance jewelry.

Maintenance and Care

  • Stainless steel jewelry is easy to care for. Simply clean it with a soft cloth to maintain its luster.

  • It doesn’t require polishing or special treatments, as it retains its shine naturally.

PVD Coating

Some of our stainless steel pieces are treated with a PVD coating to enhance their appearance, durability, and overall quality. Here's everything you need to know about PVD-coated stainless steel:

What is PVD Coating?

  • PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) is a high-tech process used to apply a thin, durable layer of metal or alloy onto the surface of stainless steel.

  • During this process, metal vapors are applied in a vacuum chamber, bonding with the surface of the jewelry and creating a strong, long-lasting coating that’s resistant to wear and tarnishing.

Benefits of PVD Coating on Stainless Steel Jewelry

  • Enhanced Durability: PVD coating provides an additional layer of protection, making the jewelry more resistant to scratches, tarnish, and corrosion. This ensures that your jewelry retains its beautiful finish for much longer.

  • Color Variety: PVD coatings can be applied in a variety of colors, such as gold, rose gold, black, and silver, without compromising the quality of the stainless steel underneath.

  • Hypoallergenic Properties: The PVD process helps to further enhance the hypoallergenic qualities of stainless steel, making it a great choice for those with sensitive skin.

Longevity and Wear

  • Long-lasting finish: PVD coatings are highly durable and resistant to fading or chipping. This makes them a great choice for everyday wear, as the finish stays intact even after repeated exposure to water or physical contact.

  • While the coating is tough, it’s still important to care for your PVD-coated jewelry by keeping it free from harsh chemicals and avoiding excessive rubbing, which could gradually wear down the coating.

Maintenance and Care

  • Gentle Cleaning: Clean your PVD-coated jewelry with a soft cloth to maintain its shine. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh cleaning chemicals, as they could damage the coating.

  • Avoid Scratches: While PVD-coated stainless steel is durable, it is always best to keep your jewelry in a safe place when not in use to avoid scratches from other objects.
