Why choose steel earrings?
These trendy earrings are made, entirely or in part, of stainless steel. This metal is actually an alloy that contains iron, but also chromium and carbon. Thanks to the presence of chromium, the alloy is shiny and produces jewelry that is each more sparkling than the last. It can be used with other materials such as leather, which can come in many shades. Stainless steel also makes beautiful jewelry with stones such as onyx, zirconium, or howlite. Aside from its exceptional shine, stainless steel also has other advantages.
Steel is a stainless, light and robust material
As its name suggests, it is a stainless material! This means that no oxide layer can form on its surface over time. Other metals such as silver oxidize over time. They require regular maintenance to maintain their shine. Stainless steel is considered immutable: it retains its appearance over time, even if exposed to water and outdoor conditions. Many women choose to wear this type of jewelry: there is no need to remove it when showering or practicing sports. In addition, this material is difficult to deform, unlike gold or silver, which are very malleable metals.
Stainless steel is hypoallergenic
This alloy is known for its hypoallergenic properties. In other words, it causes very few allergies when it comes into contact with the skin. It is generally guaranteed nickel-free, which means it does not contain this metal known to cause skin pain and itching. This is particularly the case for surgical steel, which can be worn as earrings or in piercings during post-piercing healing. This material is highly recommended for women with sensitive skin. Very often, earring clasps and attachments are made of stainless steel to reduce the risk of allergic reactions.
Steel can have several finishes
You're probably familiar with silver-plated stainless steel, the most common type of jewelry steel. You can find it on many pieces of costume jewelry, whether earrings, necklaces, or bracelets. Did you know that gold-plated steel also exists? This golden shade is currently very fashionable, and many women are opting for this color, which looks just like gold! Indeed, gold-plated steel perfectly imitates the precious metal, except that it's significantly less expensive. A third color is also trendy for steel: pink copper, which is both elegant and original!
The Different Types of Stainless Steel Earrings
Stainless steel is present in many types of earrings, whatever their shape, solid or openwork.
- Stainless steel hoop earrings are rings that can be thin or wide. A distinction must be made between large, chic hoop earrings and mini hoop earrings that create a more rock look. Furthermore, hoop earrings can be simple or made up of several elements. Generally round, they can also have other shapes, including a non-exhaustive list: oval, square, triangle, star, heart, etc.
- Long and dangling earrings : stainless steel earrings with dangling chains, long disc earrings, dangling earrings in the shape of a flower, a butterfly.
- Clip-on earrings with or without adjustable clasps: chic, fancy or bohemian, ideal for women who do not have pierced ears.
- Metal studs, studs, small earrings and minimalist jewelry;
- Earcuffs and fake piercings.
How to wear steel jewelry?
Steel earrings can be worn with other jewelry, as long as the jewelry matches. For example, gold-plated pieces can be paired with a ring, necklace, or bracelet of the same color. If your earrings are silver-plated steel, you can wear other silver jewelry. Note that steel also complements other jewelry made of mother-of-pearl, stones, or a colorful pattern very well. To maintain a sense of harmony and avoid overloading your look or your face, we recommend wearing only one statement piece of jewelry, and opting for more discreet secondary pieces.
Remember that your face shape is important to consider when choosing your earrings . If your face is square, choose round shapes. With a round face, you can wear angular jewelry.
