Stainless steel jewelry requires minimal maintenance compared to precious metals. It doesn’t tarnish or corrode and is scratch resistant. Clean regularly using a polishing cloth or mild soap and water. For best results, avoid prolonged exposure to chlorine, salt water or harsh chemicals which can damage the protective surface layer. When not wearing, store pieces separately in a lined jewelry box to prevent scratches. With periodic care and cleaning, your steel jewelry will maintain its beauty and luster for everyday enjoyment.
