Stainless steel Jewelry is safe! Hygienic, Tarnish-Resistant, and Hypoallergenic.

Stainless steel has many uses in surgical medicine and food safety industry because of its hygienic properties. It doesn’t contain pores, so it prevents bacteria from growing on it. Because of its anti-corrosiveness, it naturally stays somewhat clean and hygienic.

It won’t tarnish and can easily be cleaned with soap and water. Silver and gold on the other hand, can both tarnish and require regular cleaning for them to retain their luster. Silver will tarnish easily if not cleaned and requires special cleaners to remove the dark gray that appears.

Some people have nickel allergies and can’t wear certain gold or silver alloys for their jewelry. Stainless steel is usually hypoallergenic, which means it won’t cause allergies in most people. The effects of a nickel allergy include itching and skin around the affected area.
