Facts about Stainless Steel Rings

The Pros and Cons of Stainless Steel Rings: What You Should Know

Pros

• Naturally silver, stays bright without tarnishing

• Very durable for daily wear

• Low-maintenance (soap + water + microfiber)

• Comfortable weight and feel (heavier than Titanium but lighter than Tungsten)

• Generally hypoallergenic 

• Shatter-resistant (safe, tough core)

• Laser engraving looks crisp

• Great base for opal/resin memorial inlays

Cons

• Not scratch-proof; marks may develop over time

• Resizing is not an option

• Chlorine/bleach can cause pitting—avoid exposure

• May bother the most nickel-sensitive skin (rare, but possible)
  

Conclusion:

Stainless steel is a tough, low-maintenance choice that stays bright, takes crisp engraving, and makes a solid base for memorial inlays. It isn’t scratch-proof and resizing is not practical, so accurate sizing matters. With normal care it’ll hold up beautifully for everyday wear.

As with all of our rings, exposure to fingernail polish remover, acetone, paint thinner, etc. will cause irreparable damage.
