Stainless steel has become one of the most popular materials in the modern jewelry industry. This material, which stands out with its durability, hypoallergenic structure and stylish appearance, is ideal for both daily use and special designs. So how is stainless steel jewelry made? Let's examine the production process step by step.

1. Material Selection: What Stainless Steel to Use?

In jewelry production, usually 316L quality stainless steel preferred. Why?

• Nickel free, safe for those with sensitive skin.
• Corrosion resistance high (resistant to salt water, sweat and chemicals).
• Flexibility Suitable for complex designs thanks to.
  Another option is 304 quality, but this is mostly used in decorative products.

2. Design and Pattern Preparation

• CAD Design: 3D model is created with computer-aided design (CAD) software.
• Prototype Production: The design is tested by preparing wax or resin prototypes with 3D printers.
• Creating a Pattern: Silicone, plaster or metal molds are used for mass production.

3. Cutting and Shaping

• Laser Cutting: Stainless steel sheets with a thickness of 0.5-3 mm are precisely cut with laser technology.
• Pressing: Shaped with metal press machines using molds (for example, bracelet rings).
• Handcraft: For special designs, bending is done manually with tools such as hammers, anvils and pliers.

4. Source and Assembly

• TIG Welding: This method, performed under argon gas, provides joining without leaving any traces.
• Laser Source: Used in micro jewelry (earring pendants, necklace clasps).
• Mechanical Joining: Parts are joined together with screws, rings or clips.

5. Surface Treatment: Polishing and Coating

• SandingSurface roughnesses are removed with 400-2000 grit sandpaper.
• Electropolishing: Mirror shine is achieved with chemical bath and electric current.
• Coatings:
• Gold or Rhodium Plated: For a luxurious look.
• PVD Coating: Available in black, blue or rose gold color options.
• Matting: A sophisticated touch with sandblasting.

6. Detailing and Embellishment

• Stone Placement: Swarovski crystals or diamonds are attached by micro welding.
• Laser Engraving: Name, date or patterns are laser engraved.
• Knitting Techniques: Intricate designs are created with chain, wickerwork or macrame.

7. Quality Control and Testing

• Salt Spray Test: Corrosion resistance is tested by exposure to salt water for 24 hours.
• Allergy Test: Nickel release is controlled according to EN 1811 standard.
• Tensile Test: The breaking strength of chains and clips is measured.

8. Packaging and Market Preparation

• Antioxidant Packaging: Protected from moisture with silica gel bags.
• Adding Certificate: Certificates proving the quality of the product (REACH, SGS) are added.
• Branding: Brand identity is emphasized with a logo or stamp.
