Cousin DIY 30mm Stainless Steel Earring Hoop - 22pc

22pc Earring Hoop - Non-Tarnish Hypoallergenic Stainless Steel. Jewelry, especially silver, tends to tarnish when the metal interacts with the oxygen in the air because there is no coating on the jewelry to protect the core metal. However, stainless steel jewelry does not tarnish because the metal, which is one of the strongest of all jewelry metals, does not oxidize. This is why stainless jewelry is so durable and the metal is also used for other sterile purposes, such as in kitchens and hospitals. Many people have allergies to the nickel found in most common jewelry metals. However, stainless steel does not incorporate other alloys to make it harder, it is a naturally hard metal. It can be worn by anybody because of its anti-allergic properties. Metallic sheen stainless steel jewelry can be cleaned with warm water and a clean cloth, forgoing the need to use harmful, expensive jewelry cleaners.
