Althea Necklace

Stainless Steel

Stainless steel is a modern material that provides high durability and longevity. It is naturally resistant to corrosion and does not tarnish; therefore, it is ideal for easy-to-maintain jewelry suitable for everyday wear. Because its surface tone is bright and neutral, it perfectly complements minimalist, simple, and timeless designs.

Why did we work with steel for this model?

The aim of this collection was to create a simple and elegant aesthetic. Since the hard and robust nature of steel is not suitable for stone setting (it's difficult in stone applications), it was best suited for stone-free designs with clean lines. This results in flawless contours, slim profiles, and long-lasting use — in short, we aimed for a simple yet striking look.

Durability and coating

Stainless steel is naturally resistant to tarnishing; discoloration or tarnishing is not expected with normal use. Fine scratches may develop on the surface over time; these are signs of daily use and can often be removed with light polishing or professional maintenance. If desired, special coatings such as PVD can be applied to the products to provide additional color and extra protection.

Maintenance recommendations

Keep your jewelry away from moisture, perfume, and cosmetics as much as possible.

Regularly wiping with a soft cloth will maintain the surface's shine.

Gently wipe away any dust/stains from the surface with warm soapy water and dry immediately.

Notes

If you want a more delicately crafted design with stones, silver or brass will give better results for those designs.
