Not all jewelry is created equal—discover why Forever Jewellery's stainless steel makes all the difference.
When shopping for jewelry, it's easy to get caught up in design and price while overlooking the most crucial factor: what it's actually made from. The material determines everything—how long your jewelry lasts, how it affects your skin, and whether it maintains its beauty over time. At Forever Jewellery, we believe you deserve better than the cheap metals most brands use.
The Problem with Common Jewelry Metals
Most affordable jewelry brands rely on copper, nickel, and zinc alloys to keep costs down. While these metals might look appealing initially, they come with serious drawbacks that affect both your health and your wallet.
Copper: Turns your skin green, tarnishes quickly, and requires constant maintenance. The oxidation process not only ruins the jewelry's appearance but can also cause skin irritation and staining.
Nickel: A common allergen that causes rashes, itching, and contact dermatitis in millions of people. Many countries have banned or restricted nickel in jewelry due to health concerns.
Zinc: Brittle and prone to breaking, zinc alloys deteriorate rapidly with wear. They also tarnish easily and lose their lustre within weeks of regular use.
The Hidden Costs of Cheap Materials
When you buy jewelry made from inferior metals, you're not saving money—you're setting yourself up for disappointment. Tarnished pieces need replacing, skin reactions require treatment, and broken jewelry becomes worthless. What seems like a bargain quickly becomes an expensive lesson.
Why Forever Jewellery Chooses Stainless Steel
Stainless steel isn't just better—it's in a completely different league. Here's why we exclusively use this superior material for our personalised name plate jewelry:
Hypoallergenic: Stainless steel contains no nickel in its surface layer, making it safe for even the most sensitive skin. You can wear our pieces all day, every day, without worry.
Tarnish-Resistant: Unlike copper and zinc alloys, stainless steel maintains its lustrous finish indefinitely. Your personalised engravings stay crisp and clear, and the metal keeps its beautiful shine.
Incredibly Durable: Stainless steel resists scratches, dents, and breaks. Your Forever Jewellery pieces can handle daily wear, active lifestyles, and accidental bumps without damage.
Low Maintenance: No special cleaning solutions or professional polishing required. Simple soap and water keep stainless steel looking perfect.
Value That Lasts: While stainless steel jewelry costs more upfront, it's actually more economical because you'll never need to replace it due to tarnishing, breaking, or skin reactions.
The Long-Term Benefits
When you invest in Forever Jewellery's stainless steel pieces, you're investing in jewelry that will look as beautiful in ten years as it does today. Your personalised name plates won't fade, your engravings won't blur, and your investment won't turn your skin green or cause allergic reactions.
Environmental Impact
Choosing quality materials also means less waste. Instead of replacing tarnished or broken jewelry every few months, our stainless steel pieces last for decades, reducing environmental impact and saving you money.
What to Look For
When shopping for jewelry, always ask about materials. Avoid pieces described as "alloy," "fashion metal," or "costume jewelry"—these are usually code words for the problematic metals we've discussed. Look for clear statements about stainless steel content and hypoallergenic properties.
The Forever Jewellery Promise
We use only high-grade stainless steel because we believe your personalised jewelry should last as long as the memories it represents. When you choose Forever Jewellery, you're choosing pieces that will maintain their beauty, protect your skin, and preserve your personalised engravings for years to come.
Don't settle for jewelry that tarnishes, breaks, or irritates your skin. Choose Forever Jewellery's stainless steel collection and experience the difference that quality materials make.
