To create a charms necklace with stainless steel charms, you need a few basic supplies and a little technique, accessible even to beginners.

Here are the essential steps:

• Choose a stainless steel chain: opt for a trace, curb chain or ball chain, depending on your style. If you prefer, you can also start with a bead necklace, as in this tutorial.
• Select your charms: choose stainless steel charms for durability, shine and water resistance.
• Use connecting rings if necessary: open them with two flat pliers, insert each charm, then attach them to the chain at the desired point.
• Vary sizes and shapes: alternate charm types (stars, hearts, letters, stones, etc.) for a personalized look.
• Add a Lobster Clasp: attach it to one end of the chain with a connecting ring, and add an extension chain if required.

To make a charm bracelet, follow the same process, but adjust the length of the chain.

Tip: use only stainless steel components to ensure a consistent finish, avoid allergies and guarantee excellent durability.
By following these few steps, you'll obtain necklaces like this cowboy version or this navy-inspired one.

To maintain your stainless steel jewelry and preserve its shine, regular cleaning is essential. Here are the most effective methods:

• Simple cleaning: use a soft cloth or brush with lukewarm water and a mild soap (such as Marseille soap or washing-up liquid). Rinse thoroughly, then dry thoroughly.
• Deep cleaning: for persistent marks, apply a baking soda clay (baking soda + hot water) to the jewel, rub gently, then rinse and dry.
• Natural methods: white vinegar or diluted lemon juice can be used to revive shine, but should be avoided on jewelry containing sensitive stones or glues.

Caution: for chains and components in gold-plated stainless steel or clasps in rose gold-plated stainless steel, avoid acidic cleaners such as vinegar, lemon or toothpaste. This could damage the finish.

Tip: store your stainless steel jewelry away from humidity and avoid overly aggressive products (bleach, ammonia).
