FAQ – Stainless Steel in DIY Jewelry
Is stainless steel jewelry waterproof?
Stainless steel is prized for its good resistance to everyday moisture and oxidation. It is particularly used to create jewelry intended for regular wear.
However, to preserve its shine for as long as possible, it is advisable to avoid repeated contact with chlorine, salt water, or certain chemicals.
Why do some gold-plated jewelry last longer than others?
The durability of gold-plated jewelry primarily depends on the type of finish applied to the stainless steel.
IP or PVD (Ion Plating / Physical Vapor Deposition) gold plating uses vacuum vaporization technology, allowing for better adhesion of the color to the metal. These treatments generally offer better durability than classic chemical gold plating.
What is the difference between oxidation and loss of gilding?
These two phenomena are often confused.
Oxidation concerns the metal itself. Stainless steel is very resistant to this phenomenon under normal conditions of use.
Gilding loss, on the other hand, corresponds to the progressive wear of the colored layer applied to the surface of the jewelry. This wear can appear with friction, cosmetics, perfume, or repeated exposure to water.
Can you shower with stainless steel jewelry?
Stainless steel generally withstands daily water exposure well.
However, to preserve the shine of jewelry and gilding for longer, it is recommended to avoid:
- repeated bathing,
- chlorine,
- perfumes,
- household cleaning products,
- or excessive friction.
A few simple precautions can extend the lifespan of your creations.
