316L Stainless Steel — Designed for Water
Every DNSK Copenhagen waterproof ring is made from 316L stainless steel — a grade so corrosion-resistant it holds its finish through showers, swimming, sweat, and salt water without a second thought. No removing before the pool. No storing away before the gym. Fully waterproof means exactly that — wear it and forget it.
Why 316L Steel Is Truly Waterproof
Most jewellery tolerates water. DNSK rings are designed for it. The 316L grade adds molybdenum to the steel alloy — the same reason it is known as marine grade. It resists salt, chlorine, and daily moisture at a level lower grades simply cannot match. Choose from gold plated rings finished with 18K ION plating, or silver rings where the tone runs all the way through the metal. Both waterproof. Both permanent.

FAQ
Do I need to take my ring off before swimming?
No — DNSK rings are designed to be worn through water. You do not need to remove them before the pool, the sea, or the shower. Wear it and forget it.
What makes 316L steel different from other metals?
316L stainless steel contains molybdenum, which gives it exceptional corrosion resistance — far beyond standard stainless steel. It is the same grade used in medical implants and marine equipment, which is why it holds up so well against water, salt, and daily wear.
Are all DNSK rings waterproof?
Yes — every DNSK ring is made from 316L stainless steel, which is fully waterproof and corrosion-resistant. Wear them in the shower, swimming, or at the gym without compromise.
Can I wear my DNSK ring in salt water?
Yes — 316L stainless steel is known as marine grade for a reason. It resists salt, chlorine, and daily moisture at a level lower grades cannot match. Rinse with fresh water after prolonged exposure to the sea as good practice.
Will the gold finish hold up in water?
Yes — DNSK gold rings are finished with 18K ION plating, which bonds directly onto the 316L steel with far greater force than standard gold plating. The steel base cannot tarnish, so nothing works against the gold from underneath.
Is waterproof jewellery safe for sensitive skin?
Yes — 316L stainless steel is nickel-free and hypoallergenic. It stays chemically stable against your skin even through daily wear, water, and sweat. No irritation, no compromise.
