Hypoallergenic necklaces
316L Stainless Steel — Designed for Sensitive Skin
Every DNSK Copenhagen hypoallergenic necklace is made from 316L stainless steel — a grade that stays chemically stable against your skin through water, sweat, and daily wear. Nickel-free and hypoallergenic, it is gentle even on the most sensitive skin. Put it on. Leave it there.
Why 316L Is Gentle on Skin
316L stainless steel releases virtually nothing into the skin — even after prolonged contact with moisture and sweat. Its corrosion resistance means the surface stays intact, so there is nothing working against your skin over time. If you have ever had to take a necklace off because of a reaction, you will not need to here. For more skin-safe options, explore our nickel-free necklaces and waterproof necklaces.
Available in Gold and Silver
Choose from gold plated necklaces finished with 18K ION plating for a warm, lasting brilliance — or silver necklaces in natural 316L stainless steel where the tone runs all the way through the metal to the core. No coating. No compromise. Both hypoallergenic. Both made to last.
Designed in Copenhagen. Made to Be Worn Every Day.
From delicate chains to bold sculptural pieces — hypoallergenic necklaces that work with your skin, not against it. Made with love. Designed to last.
FAQ
What makes 316L steel hypoallergenic?
316L stainless steel has an exceptionally stable surface that resists corrosion and releases virtually no ions into the skin — even through prolonged contact with moisture and sweat. This is why it is the same grade used in surgical implants and medical devices.
Do hypoallergenic necklaces come in gold and silver?
Both. DNSK hypoallergenic necklaces are available in 18K ION gold plating and in natural 316L stainless steel silver. Both finishes are permanent and both are hypoallergenic.
Are DNSK hypoallergenic necklaces also waterproof?
Yes — 316L stainless steel is fully waterproof and corrosion-resistant. Your necklace holds its finish through showers, swimming, sweat, and salt water without compromise.
Are all DNSK necklaces hypoallergenic?
Yes — every DNSK necklace is made from 316L stainless steel, which is widely considered hypoallergenic. It stays chemically stable against your skin through daily wear, water, and sweat without causing irritation.
Are DNSK necklaces nickel-free?
Yes — 316L stainless steel is nickel-free. Nickel is one of the most common causes of jewellery-related skin reactions, and DNSK necklaces are designed to be safe for even the most sensitive skin.
Can I wear a DNSK necklace if I have a metal allergy?
316L stainless steel is one of the most skin-compatible metals available and is widely used in medical implants for this reason. If you have a known metal allergy, we recommend consulting your doctor — but most people with sensitive skin wear 316L steel without any issues.
