ACCIAIO INOX, UN GIOIELLO DI MATERIALE!

STAINLESS STEEL, A JEWEL OF MATERIAL!


OUR PASSION FOR STEEL

The love for a jewel is often like a bolt of lightning: sudden and disruptive. When then it is inexpensive, then the purchase is almost insured! A situation of this kind is very common when we talk about steel jewelry, products of great trend in recent years, increasingly cared for and at the same time cheap compared to those in gold, silver or precious stones. If you love steel jewelry, discover the pros and cons right away. Understanding these aspects will help you better choose the precious to wear! Not all jewelry is the same: we tend to share it but not everything that is beautiful is also of good quality.

It happens to fall in love with a beautiful jewel and buy it instantly because comforted by the low price and easy. It happens just as often, however, that after wearing it no more than a few hours, the necklace, bracelet or ring in question begins to change color and leave black/greenish marks on the skin. Consequence: after sometimes wearing the jewel, which yes we paid little, it becomes unusable.

Obviously this is not what we had in mind when we saw that given bijoux in the beautiful window at the corner of some street... The secret lies in finding the right compromise in the quality/ price ratio and, of course, aesthetics!

A solution to all this is and are the steel jewelry: cheap, hypoallergenic and resistant.

They leave no stains and last years, without spoiling, without losing their lucidity and without changing color!

We can wear them on all occasions, without worrying too much if it gets wet, if we will sweat or if by chance we spray a bit of perfume (it is not advisable but definitely not harmful!).

At Art of Shine we rely on steel and use it for most of the lines we produce. We do this to deliver you eye-catching jewelry in design, but at the same time durable and price-conscious. And also to make them accessible to everyone, even those suffering from nikel allergy.

Why buy stainless steel jewelry?

STAINLESS STEEL: MANY ADVANTEGES, FEW DISADVANTAGES!
Steel jewelry: many advantages, few disadvantages!
Our products are usually made of surgical steel, called this way because it is also used for the production of surgical instruments, therefore very safe for health. Even in this field, innovation has made great strides, that’s why today these products are very coveted, especially by allergic customers and with sensitive and intolerant skin. In fact, the steel used in jewelry has several qualities that make it perfect even for those who have a delicate skin:

  • does not corrode: thanks to the high content of chromium, this type of steel is very difficult to corrode. In fact, this chemical upon contact with air, creates a natural barrier that prevents oxygen from affecting the material by forming rust. This quality is particularly important when we have earrings and piercings that in contact with body fluids could oxidize and cause dangerous infections.

 

  • is non-porous: the absence of micro-cracks prevents the penetration of small organisms and the accumulation of dust and dirt. This guarantees objects a smooth and easily washable surface. All the substances that are deposited on its surface can be removed easily and this allows to prevent the appearance of stains. Surgical steel is particularly suitable for sterilization.

 

  • is hypoallergenic: another quality is that this steel is hypoallergenic and can also be used by allergic people. Many of these jewels can also be used by those who are allergic to nickel, but always make sure that this substance is not actually present in the individual product.
