Our gold plated jewelry is made of 316 stainless steel and gold plating that allow it to be waterproof, hypoallergenic and tarnish free.
Our gold plated jewelry is made of 316 medical and marine grade stainless steel which offers several advantages:
-
Corrosion resistance: 316 stainless steel is highly resistant to corrosion, making it suitable for use in environments with high moisture or exposure to water, such as marine applications. This type of stainless steel contains molybdenum, which enhances its corrosion resistance, especially against chlorides and other aggressive substances.
-
Durability and strength: 316 stainless steel is known for its excellent strength and toughness. It can withstand high levels of stress and is less prone to deformation or breakage compared to other materials. This durability ensures that the jewelry or components made from 316 stainless steel will last for a long time, even with regular use.
-
Hygiene and safety: The use of 316 stainless steel is common in medical instruments and equipment due to its hygienic properties. It is resistant to bacteria and other pathogens, making it suitable for applications where cleanliness and sterility are essential. Additionally, it is non-reactive, so it won't leach harmful substances into the surrounding environment.
-
Aesthetic appeal: While stainless steel has a naturally silver or metallic appearance, it can be plated or coated with other materials to achieve different colors and finishes. In the case of gold-plated stainless steel, a thick 18k gold plating is applied to the surface, providing a luxurious and visually appealing gold color while maintaining the corrosion resistance and durability of the stainless steel base.
-
Versatility: Stainless steel is a versatile material that can be molded into various shapes and forms, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. Whether it's jewelry, marine vessels, medical instruments, or plumbing fixtures, 316 stainless steel offers the necessary combination of strength, corrosion resistance, and aesthetic appeal.
Overall, choosing 316 medical and marine grade stainless steel ensures a high-quality, durable, and corrosion-resistant material for various applications, including jewelry. The addition of gold plating allows for customization and a touch of luxury without compromising the inherent properties of stainless steel to make your jewelry long lasting and beautiful!
