Care Guide
All LESS & MORE jewellery products are made of stainless steel. Stainless steel is an alloy of carbon and iron. What makes stainless steel different is the addition of chromium and other alloying elements such as nickel and titanium for durability and low maintenance.
Let’s explore the various advantages of stainless steel jewellery.
- Stainless steel jewellery won’t rust as long as the protective layer of chromium on it is maintained. It also doesn't oxidise like bronze or brass so it won’t change color over time.
- Stainless steel jewellery doesn’t get scratched or damaged easily like other metals. It also doesn't need to be polished or buffed as often as silver, gold, and platinum.
- Stainless steel jewellery is hypoallergenic, meaning that it doesn’t affect the body or cause any adverse effects on the skin.
- Stainless steel jewellery is infinitely recyclable with an almost 100% recovery rate. If it comes in contact with other elements, it remains environmentally inert and neutral without absorbing compounds that could alter its composition.
- Stainless steel jewelry goes with most outfits, from casual wear to formal attire. You can dress it up or down depending on the occasion.
