About Stainless steel Jewelry

In metallurgy, Stainless Steel is defined as a ferrous alloy with a minimum of 10.5% chromium content. The name originates from the fact that Stainless Steel stains, or rusts, less easily than ordinary steel. Stainless Steel has higher resistance to oxidation (rust) and corrosion in several environments. High oxidation resistance in air at ambient temperature is normally achieved with additions of more than 12% (by weight) chromium. The chromium forms a layer of chromium (III) oxide (Cr2O3) when exposed to oxygen. The layer is too thin to be visible, meaning the metal stays shiny. It is, however, impervious to water and air, protecting the metal beneath. Also, when the surface is scratched this layer quickly reforms. This phenomenon is called passivation by materials scientists, and is seen in other metals, such as aluminium. When Stainless Steel parts such as nuts and bolts are forced together, the oxide layer can be scraped off causing the parts to weld together. When disassembled, the welded material may be torn and pitted, an effect that is known as galling. There are different types of Stainless Steels: when nickel, for instance is added the austenite structure of iron is stabilized. This crystal structure makes such steels non-magnetic and less brittle at low temperatures. For higher hardness and strength, carbon is added. When subjected to adequate heat treatment these steels are used as razor blades, cutlery, tools etc.

The AISI defines only Type 316 for food and surgical Stainless Steel uses; Alloy addition of molybdenum to prevent specific forms of corrosion; equivalent to ISO A4.

The ASTM & ISO have a standard for wrought stainless steel used for surgical implants. It is called ASTM F-138. The ISO specification 5832-1 is included in this spec.

The material composition covered by this specification has been employed successfully in human implant applications in contact with soft tissue and bone for over a decade

The number 316 stands for the type of stainless steel; it's basically a formula for the mixture of elements that make up this alloy. The L stands for a low carbon content

316L stainless steel - a hard wearing alloy highly resistant to corrosion and chemicals. Stainless steel is virtually maintenance free and is highly resistant to scratches. 316L Stainless Steel provides superior corrosion resistance and higher resistance to pitting. Stainless steel can be worn by many people who cannot wear other types of jewelry due to allergic reactions. 

our Stainless steel Jewelry are made of 316 stainless steel..

All Stainless steel Jewelry is polished to a mirror finish, bright. Shiny.  classic appeal.

It has a look that is clean, modern, elegant, ,Strong. Durable. With a charm all its own that keeps delivering year after year. It has the advantage of being a more rugged allow than gold or silver as it is nearly indestructible.
