Waterproof Earrings in 316L Stainless Steel
What are Waterproof Earrings?
Waterproof earrings are designed to be worn continuously — in the shower, at the beach, in the pool, and during exercise — without losing their finish or structural integrity. DNSK Copenhagen waterproof earrings are made from 316L surgical-grade stainless steel, the same grade used in surgical and medical applications. Gold pieces are finished with ION plating, a process that bonds the gold-toned finish at a molecular level, making it resistant to water, sweat, salt water, and chlorine. Silver pieces are the natural colour of the 316L steel itself — the tone runs all the way through the material to the core, so there is nothing to chip, fade, or tarnish. Unlike traditional plated earrings, they do not require removal for daily activities.
Gold & Silver — Two Finishes, One Material
Gold earrings use ION plating (Physical Vapor Deposition) — a vacuum chamber process that deposits the gold-toned finish directly onto the 316L stainless steel base at a molecular level. The result is a finish that is significantly harder, more scratch-resistant, and more waterproof than traditional gold plating. Silver earrings need no plating at all — the silver tone is the 316L steel itself, solid all the way through. Nothing bonds to the surface because nothing needs to. It simply cannot tarnish or change colour during its lifetime. Ever.
