Creating stainless steel jewelry: 20 DIY ideas

Inalterable, hard-wearing and unchanging, stainless steel jewelry has it all. In fact,stainless steel, or inox steel, is very attractive to designers: it is heat-malleable and can be engraved. It is anti-allergenic and requires very little maintenance. It's an environmentally-friendly metal: it's 100% recyclable and has little impact on the environment, as it doesn't release nickel.
What's more, stainless steel's color and shine are reminiscent of silver, except that it doesn't tarnish. Finally, this strong, durable metal appeals to men and women alike.

But fans of gold can rest assured that they too can enjoy the benefits of stainless steel, as it is also available in a gold version.
