Why Stainless Steel?
A great alternative to silver, stainless steel—as its name implies—is rust-resistant, strong, and durable; it doesn’t corrode and is resistant to scratches. It’s an alloy of iron, carbon, nickel, and chromium.
Even though stainless steel contains nickel particles, since these are locked within the alloy, they cannot be released; this is why stainless steel is a hypoallergenic metal that does not irritate the skin.
How do you clean stainless steel?
There are many ways to clean stainless steel; here are a few:
Apply a mixture of hot water and baking soda with a cloth, then rinse.
Dish soap works too.
You can also use lemon oil—soak a cloth in it and wipe it over your jewelry.
