Why Stainless Steel is the Best Choice for Your Jewelry Line

Stainless steel forms the foundation for jewelry collections that withstand sweat, water, and travel. With proper surface preparation and PVD coating, finishes remain vibrant, reducing returns and ensuring consistent pricing across seasons. This reliability is precisely what buyers anticipate from a dependable stainless steel jewelry manufacturer like Dongguan HonHo Jewelry.

Plating Thickness & Color Retention for Long-Lasting Jewelry

At Dongguan HonHo Jewelry, we understand the importance of plating thickness for color retention and durability. For stainless steel jewelry, we specify a decorative color layer between 0.03–0.10 µm, complemented by a TiN PVD base at ~0.05 µm. This enhances abrasion resistance and extends the jewelry’s lifespan, ensuring your designs maintain their brilliance.

Color Layer Thickness (µm) Base Layer Estimated Color Retention*
0.03 µm (electroplating / top coat) TiN PVD ≈ 0.05 µm ~ 2–3 years (normal daily wear)
0.10 µm (electroplating / top coat) TiN PVD ≈ 0.05 µm ~ 3–4 years (normal daily wear)

*Retention estimates assume typical consumer use and basic care; heavy friction, chemicals, or seawater exposure can shorten results. We log XRF thickness (coupon or targeted points) for every production lot.

In-House PVD for Superior Stainless Steel Jewelry Finishes

We operate our own PVD line for stainless. Our stack uses a TiN base layer ≈ 0.05 μm—significantly thicker than the 0.01–0.03 μm you’ll see elsewhere—then builds to a total nominal thickness up to 0.1 μm depending on color. That denser base improves abrasion resistance and helps color hold in day-to-day wear. With typical care, our stainless PVD program targets 2–3 years of color retention, where many basic builds last ~1–2 years.

We log color recipes and thickness readings (XRF on coupons or targeted points) so reorders repeat the approved look.

Stainless Steel Bracelet

Comfort-first bracelets for everyday wear. We shape 304/316L with smooth edges and secure, easy-to-use clasps, then finish to a bright, photo-ready shine. Built for daily moisture and movement, with color designed to last about 2–4 years under normal care (TiN base ≈0.05 µm + color layer 0.03–0.10 µm recorded for reorders).

Stainless Steel Necklace

Necklaces that sit right and stay bright. We match chain gauge, length and pendant weight so the drape looks clean on body and on camera. Finish recipes are logged, helping your look stay consistent season after season (304 or 316L per design and market).

Stainless Steel Earring

Light, comfortable, camera-ready. Posts and backs are standardized for a secure feel; huggie “click” hinges are cycle-tested so the snap is just right. Tone is pair-matched in a light booth, and edges are smoothed for skin comfort. Expected color life ~2–4 years with normal care (specs kept on file).

Stainless Steel Ring

Rings built to live on the hand. We shape 304/316L with a comfort-fit interior and softened edges, then finish to a clean mirror or satin so the profile reads premium on camera and in-store. Profiles, height and weight are locked at sampling, and finish recipes are saved so reorders look the same season after season. Expected color life ~2–4 years with normal care (TiN base ≈0.05 µm + color layer 0.03–0.10 µm kept on file).
