Stainless steel is highly resistant to corrosion and rust, which means that stainless steel chains are unlikely to rust under normal conditions.
To tell if a chain is stainless steel, look for a stamp or label that indicates the material used, or perform a magnet test to check if the chain is attracted to the magnet (stainless steel is not magnetic).
Stainless steel chains may tarnish or discolor slightly over time due to exposure to chemicals or oils, but with proper care and cleaning, tarnishing can be minimized or prevented.
Stainless steel chains are generally durable, hypoallergenic, and affordable, making them a good choice for everyday wear.
Yes, you can shower with a stainless steel chain. The material is water-resistant and should not be damaged by exposure to water or steam. However, it’s still important to take care of your jewelry by properly cleaning and drying it after showering.
