Stainless Steel

Stainless steel is a sleek, modern material prized for its strength, shine and resistance to wear. Corrosion-resistant, hypoallergenic and low-maintenance, it holds its finish through daily wear and years of use, making it as practical as it is considered.

Our stainless steel range spans jewellery and giftware, each piece drawing on the material's natural affinity with the coast. From chain necklaces designed to hold your pearl, to Mother of Pearl inlay flatware and coastal-inspired table pieces, this collection brings the ocean into everyday life, at the table, around the wrist, or given as a gift that endures.

Stainless steel is the traditional eleventh anniversary gift, recognised for its strength and resilience. It is also a thoughtful choice for those with metal sensitivities, as it is naturally hypoallergenic and gentle on skin.

What stainless steel jewellery is available, and how does it pair with pearls?

Our stainless steel jewellery centres on the Spiral Stainless Steel Chain Necklace, a clean, modern chain available in silver, gold plated and black coated finishes, designed to carry a pearl pendant. Stainless steel's neutral tone works across both warm and cool pearl colours, sitting as comfortably against the cream and ivory of an Akoya pearl as it does the silver and gold hues of an Australian South Sea pearl.

For those looking to build a pearl necklace that works for everyday wear, stainless steel is a practical and considered choice. It won't tarnish with daily use, holds its finish without polishing, and sits at a more accessible price point than gold, making it a strong foundation for a pearl pendant that can be worn often and worn well.

Is stainless steel jewellery suitable for sensitive skin, and how does it compare to other metals?

Stainless steel is naturally hypoallergenic, making it one of the most skin-friendly metals available. It contains no nickel in quantities likely to cause reaction, which is a common issue with lower-grade silver and gold alloys. For those who have experienced irritation from other metals, stainless steel is a reliable alternative that doesn't compromise on appearance or longevity.

Compared to sterling silver, it requires less upkeep, it won't oxidise or require regular polishing to maintain its finish. Compared to gold, it offers a more accessible entry point while still pairing well with the quality of an Australian-grown pearl. For those building a jewellery wardrobe with longevity in mind, stainless steel is worth considering alongside our other materials.
