Due to its special properties, stainless steel has proven itself not only in industry but also in jewelry manufacturing. Stainless steel is steel with a special degree of purity. The level of sulfur and phosphorus content in the metal provides information as to whether steel is stainless steel. If the maximum level is 0.025%, stainless steel is considered to be stainless steel. Stainless steel is popular as a material for making jewelry because of its durability and scratch resistance. In addition, stainless steel is corrosion resistant and rustproof, which is why stainless steel chains are the perfect base for pendants of all kinds. Unlike other chain variations, a stainless steel chain cannot be clearly defined by its design. There are too many different variations of the chain for that. Some consist of connected elements, others of interlocking links, such as an anchor or pea chain. Stainless steel chains are also variable in strength, as well as in the types of fasteners. They can also be adjustable in size and have different colored surface finishes. Although stainless steel is whitish-silver in its basic form, it can also be given a rose, gold, black or other colored surface by gold- or ion plating.
