What is your jewellery made from?Updated a year ago

316L stainless steel is a type of low-carbon stainless steel that is often used for jewellery because it is hypoallergenic, and does not release as much nickel as other types of metal (around 0.02μg/cm2/week, 10 times less than the Nickel Directive deems safe.) This is because, even though it contains low amounts of nickel, it is made with a high level of corrosion resistance. As a result, 316L stainless steel is considered hypoallergenic and safe to wear for people with metal allergies and is often used for medical implants as well.
