316L Stainless Steel Jewelry---The New Gold---Not Just For Men Anymore
Our precision crafted stainless steel jewelry is 316L surgical grade stainless steel. While not considered a precious metal, it is much more durable than silver or platinum. This durability is due to a Chromium coating that is chemically bonded to the steel. The invisable coating protects the steel underneath from oxidation (tarnishing and rusting). It also protects against scratching by taking the inital impact of a scratch and then resealing itself. This process, called passivation, is the spontaneous formation of a hard non-reactive surface film that prohibits further corrosion.
If stainless steel is better than silver, gold, and titanium why is it less expensive? Simply because steel is more abundant than other metals. Our jewelry is precision crafted with state of the art machinery and will have no imperfections. Stainless steel jewelry is durable and affordable. It will not rust, corrode, tarnish,stain, fade, or turn your skin green. Don't be confused. Not all stainless steel jewelry is the same. Lower priced collections may not be made from the highest quality 316L surgical grade stainless steel. This will result in the jewelry not lasting a long as it should. We sell only quality 316L surgical grade stainless steel.
PVD Steel Jewelry
A process called ion plating ( ip) is used to get the gold, black, rose gold or chocolate color onto the stainless steel. Ion plating (ip) is a physical vapor deposition technique to form metal coatings on other metals and alloys. To form the gold color on our jewelry, the gold was turned into a fog which was then absorbed by the stainless steel through a vaccum process. It is more durable than traditional plating because it is not done by merely placing a top coat on top of another metal (which may easily flake off). It is done by actually absorbing the gold into itself.
More colors of stainless steel include Cappuccino/Chocolate, Rose Gold, Blue, Pink, and Black. This color is PVD coated, not plated, it will not flake off.
Carbon Fiber Jewelry
Carbon Fiber is used in many high performance applications, from bikes to BMWs. To create this unique look, carbon fiber filaments are woven together like cloth, then sealed into a plastic. It's super strong, light weight and sporty, making it a great material to use in stainless steel jewelry.
Tungsten Carbide Jewelry
Tungsten Carbide jewelry is very popular right now, especially in men's jewelry. Only a diamond is harder, and it's twice as heavy as silver. Because of its strength, weight and distictive gray color, it is a top choice for men seeking an upscale look. Once polished, it retains a scratch free look that will last for decades. Regardless of activity tungsten carbide will not scratch. Our tungsten carbide bracelets are 9 inches long, but can be adjusted to a smaller size,just like a watch band.
In addition, we carry stainless steel inlaid with wood, with diamonds or CZs, skull jewelry, claddagh jewelry, hand cuff jewelry, crosses and more, for both men and women.
