Stainless steel jewelry is completely waterproof, making it an excellent choice for everyday wear, even in wet conditions. Unlike silver or brass, 304 stainless steel jewelry does not tarnish, rust, or corrode when exposed to water. This durability makes it ideal for swimming, showering, and outdoor activities.

Why Stainless Steel Jewelry is Waterproof

Chromium Oxide Layer – Stainless steel contains at least 10.5% chromium, which reacts with oxygen to form a thin, invisible oxide layer. This layer acts as a protective barrier, preventing rust and corrosion.

Non-Porous Structure – Unlike some other metals, stainless steel has a dense and non-porous surface, which means water and moisture cannot easily penetrate it. This helps maintain its shine and integrity over time.

Resistance to Oxidation – While metals like silver tarnish due to oxidation, stainless steel remains chemically stable, preventing discoloration or degradation even after prolonged exposure to moisture.

PVD Gold Plating Durability – For 18K gold PVD-plated stainless steel jewelry, the physical vapor deposition (PVD) process enhances water resistance by creating a hard, durable coating that protects against fading and wear.
