Reasons to Buy Stainless Steel Jewelry

It’s tough, predictable and low-maintenance. The name says it all: stainless steel. Stainless steel resists tarnish, corrosion and oxidization, something that can’t be said about competing materials like sterling silver. Stainless steel’s toughness and easy durability means that it’s not easily scratched or dented, and unlike accessories made from notoriously hard tungsten, stainless steel jewelry is also not likely to crack.

Stainless steel men’s jewelry further maintains its attractive look by being extremely low maintenance. While a buffing cloth should take care of most surface debris, a simple homemade wash of warm water and mild dishwashing soap will quickly remove anything more persistent.

It’s inexpensive. Stainless steel is one of the most cost-effective metals on the market today, with many steel jewelry items starting in the low double digits. Stainless steel men’s jewelry is effortlessly within the reach of even the most humble budget, yet still offers a certain quality and durability that guarantees its longevity, even with daily wear.

It’s hypoallergenic. Most stainless steel  jewelry is made from 316L surgical steel, a low carbon version of superior grade 316 steel. Stainless steel’s hypoallergenic and biocompatible properties make it ideal for anyone with sensitive or allergic skin, and reduces the likelihood of skin irritation to virtually nothing.

It’s adaptable. Finding the perfect stainless steel  jewelry is easy, as it is readily available in a number of items and styles. Popular stainless steel products include men’s rings, pendants, necklaces, bracelets and watches, although the list certainly doesn’t end there. While the image automatically brought to mind by the term stainless steel jewelry may be that of a light gunmetal grey item in a brushed finish, available colors and finishes for stainless steel men’s jewelry can vary greatly.

Because stainless steel is somewhat softer than some other contemporary materials, it also allows for a greater variety of designs and decorative accents.
