Medical steel earrings

Every girl loves jewelry. Earrings are the most popular, as they are a very convenient accessory that emphasizes the appearance and does not interfere with everyday use. Previously, the main choice was between silver and gold jewelry, but now the offer on the jewelry market is much wider, since various metal alloys have been used for manufacturing.

One example is medical steel earrings.

Medical, or as it is also called, surgical steel is an alloy of metals. This term is called 300 series steel, and it got its well-known name because it is used to make medical instruments and equipment. It consists of iron and chromium, as well as carbon and alloying substances. From above, the material is coated with a chromium oxide film that protects it from oxidation. In addition, in the composition, as additional impurities, there may be:

• silver;

• copper;

• brass;

• titanium nitride;

• zinc.

How many basic elements were used and what impurities were added determine the steel number, for example, 301,304 and so on.

Often there is such a thing as medical gold, but in fact, gold may not be included in this alloy at all, but may be present only as a spray. Which metals will be used is decided by each individual production.

Earrings made of medical alloys are common among both young people and older people. This is due not only to an affordable price, but also to a wide range. Such products have an original design and many options to choose from. They are very similar to goods made of white gold, platinum or silver. But it is worth noting that, unlike them, steel is a refractory material, so it is difficult to find frilly and sinuous models on the windows, more often they are restrained and calm options. However, it is difficult to consider this fact as a disadvantage, on the contrary, this allows you to choose variations even for office dress -code.

Not so long ago, the manufacture of medical steel products reached a new level, as they began to use a special coating - PVD, a method in which precious metal is applied with steam under vacuum, which makes it possible to give jewelry a golden look. In addition, they are characterized by a mirror finish due to high-quality polishing. One option is earrings with a matte surface. Jewelry houses often release model lines of accessories, which makes it possible for people who like to wear jewelry in a set to choose the right one for themselves.

The advantages of medical alloy earrings, in addition to cost, are:

• hypoallergenic, thanks to the materials from which they are made;

• lack of skin reactions to jewelry;

• they are not exposed to aggressive alkalis and acids;

• they form significantly less scratches, which prevents the accumulation of dirt that promotes the growth of microbes;

• excellent quality of products;

• high strength;

• they do not change their appearance under the influence of sunlight, salt water, various detergents and cleaners, high, low temperatures and their differences;

• they differ in their anti-corrosion properties;

• they do not fade and do not darken over time;

Despite the fact that medical steel is a fairly durable material, it still requires maintenance, which will help maintain the brilliance and integrity of products made from it. First of all, it is aimed at prevention, carried out at least once a month, and cleaning the jewelry. The steps for this are quite simple and easy. For prevention, wipe them with a damp cloth and wipe dry. In case of soiling, blackening or loss of shine, a soap solution can be used by adding a few drops of liquid soap, shampoo or detergent to the water. Water can be taken plain running or distilled. For cleaning, you should use a soft cloth, not a hard brush, or a sponge, but without an abrasive part.

You can also clean the products with wine spirit, beer and even vinegar by soaking a cotton swab in them. After this procedure, you need to rinse the decoration with water and dry well. If these methods are not suitable, then in jewelry stores there are special cleaning wipes, or a liquid that will last for a long time.Another option is ultrasonic cleaning, this service is offered in jewelry workshops.
