Why Stainless Steel?

We hear you, there are much cheaper jewellery options than Stainless Steel on the market such as alloys used by fast fashion brands.

But, it's your turn to hear us out - choosing Stainless Steel will not only slow down your fashion consumption, but will also slow down the rate at which you have to keep replacing cheap alloy pieces.

In the long-run, Stainless Steel jewellery is better for both the environment and your bank account.

Not yet convinced you? There are 100's of reasons why Stainless Steel is an incredible base material for jewellery, but we're sure just these 5 will be enough to show you why:

1. WATER AND TARNISH PROOF

This means you can swim, shower and dance in the rain without having to worry about your Miyukai jewellery becoming weak or discoloured. 

2. RUST RESISTANT

Stainless Steel ranks at a 6 on the Mineral Hardness scale (MOH), whilst other materials such as Silver ranking at only a 2.5, making Stainless Steel a much more rust-resilient material.  

3. 100% RECYCLABLE

Why not reduce your carbon footprint and look good whilst doing it? Stainless Steel is 100% recyclable, unlike gold and silver which are non-renewable. This means that less waste is generated in the manufacturing of Miyukai jewellery. 

4. HYPOALLERGENIC 

Stainless Steel is hypoallergenic, meaning it contains very little allergy-triggering substances known as allergens. This allows almost everyone to wear Miyukai jewellery without the risk of skin irritation.

5. VERSATILITY

As Miyukai jewellery is water and tarnish proof, rust resistant and hypoallergenic, this allows for our jewellery to be worn all day and for any occasion. Dress it up for a fancy dinner or dress it down for a pool party, but never worry about taking it off!
