Benefits of Stainless Steel Jewelry
Stainless steel is a metal compound of iron, carbon, and chromium. Stainless steel can be used for many applications such as surgical and medical tools, aerospace applications, and architecture. But it's also used to make jewelry, and because the metal is corrosion and heat-resistant, it can make a great addition to your jewelry box.
Stainless steel has a very low rate of allergic reaction.
The jewelry is harder to scratch and can withstand the sun, the sand, and the sea. It really takes the stress away from remembering to take off your jewelry in the shower!
**CAUTION!**: Remove stainless steel jewelry before entering a chlorine treated pool, as stainless steel reacts with chlorine.
