316L Surgical/ Stainless Steel

Built for Strength, Shine, and Skin-Friendliness

We engineer our 316L surgical and 304 stainless steel jewelry to withstand daily wear while maintaining an elegant look. Both metals are hypoallergenic, corrosion-resistant, and impressively strong—perfect foundations for long-lasting, everyday pieces.

Silver-Tone Steel: Tarnish-Free and Waterproof

Our silver-tone stainless steel pieces are unplated by design. That means no fading, no discoloration, and no maintenance worries. These pieces stay tarnish-free and waterproof for life, thanks to the natural properties of stainless steel—no coating required.

Gold-Tone Finish with Long-Lasting Brilliance

To create our gold-toned jewelry, we use PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coating method in high-temperature furnaces. Whether the base is 304 or 316L steel, this advanced method bonds gold color deep into the surface. It delivers a rich, lasting finish that holds up for over a year with daily wear.
Unlike cheaper electroplating, PVD coating offers exceptional color retention and can even rival gold-filled jewelry when worn with care.

Hand-Polished for a Mirror-Like Finish

Polishing accounts for a major cost for 316L surgical/ stainless steel jewelry, which is why some low-cost jewelry skip this step and look dull. We have skilled artisans hand-polish every clasp, pendant, and chain to achieve a bright, mirror-like shine. While even the best stainless steel reflects slightly less than silver, we strike the right balance between brightness and durability in every piece. Nowadays our new supplies are getting more and more close to the color and shine of sterling silver, with much longer tarnish resistance. 
(Some small parts—like jump rings or pins—may be machine-polished due to production constraints.)

Transparent About Materials

We clearly state in every product description whether a piece is made from 304 stainless steel or 316L surgical steel, so you can make informed choices based on your preferences or skin sensitivity.

Why We Don’t Use Steel Stamps

We choose not to stamp our stainless steel jewelry, and here’s why:

• Testing Limitations: Stamps typically reflect small-batch testing. In reality, suppliers sometimes ship inconsistent materials. A stamp alone doesn’t guarantee uniform quality.

• Cost vs. Value: Comprehensive testing for every batch would drive up prices by 50–150%, offering minimal benefit to you.

Rather than rely on symbolic markings, we focus on true material integrity. You can trust that our jewelry meets the durability and skin-safety standards we promise—without the inflated price tag.
