Professional insight

Boutique buyers judge steel jewellery by steel grade, gold finish and clasps.

  • Look for 316L stainless steel on the tag.
  • Gold tone pieces are plated steel, not solid gold.
  • Check that chain length is adjustable with an extender.
  • Order from the EU may add UK import charges.
