Nickel-Free Necklaces
BRASS NECKLACES – Considered Design, Clear Material Information
BRASS NECKLACES – expressive forms and thoughtful details to make your everyday style personal. DANSK Copenhagen brings Scandinavian design to necklaces made from brass. This collection contains brass designs, not our 316L surgical steel jewellery.
Brass jewellery and nickel release
If you have arrived here searching for nickel-free necklaces, it helps to understand the distinction between nickel content and nickel release. Nickel content describes what is present within a material. Nickel release describes how much nickel a finished design releases during skin contact.
Our brass jewellery complies with EU REACH requirements for nickel release, lead and cadmium content. Meeting these requirements is not the same as stating that a design contains none of these metals. We distinguish between these claims so you can make an informed material choice.
Lead and cadmium: clear information matters
Alongside nickel release, lead and cadmium content are important considerations for jewellery materials. Our compliance statement refers to the applicable requirements, rather than an absolute “lead-free” or “cadmium-free” claim.
If you need material information about a particular necklace, contact us before choosing. Individual sensitivity can vary, and compliance with nickel-release requirements is not a guarantee that everyone will tolerate a design.
Choose a length that suits you
Check the necklace length, pendant dimensions and any extender listed for your chosen design. A shorter necklace frames the neckline, while a longer design rests lower on the chest. Compare the measurements with a necklace you already enjoy wearing, leaving room to move comfortably.
Wear one necklace to let its form stand out, or combine different lengths for a personal layered look. Consider the combined weight and leave space between chains to help reduce tangling and rubbing.
Care for your brass necklace
These brass necklaces are not waterproof. Remove your necklace before showering, swimming and exercise, and avoid direct contact with perfume, lotion and cleaning products. Let skincare products settle before putting it on.
After wearing, gently wipe your necklace with a soft, dry cloth and store it somewhere dry. Follow the individual product’s care instructions for its finish and any stones, pearls or other decorative details. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

FAQ
What is the difference between gold and silver DANSK necklaces?
Silver necklaces are natural 316L stainless steel — the silver tone is the metal itself, permanent and impossible to tarnish. Gold necklaces are finished with 18K ION plating directly onto the same steel base. Both are waterproof and hypoallergenic.
Are DANSK necklaces waterproof?
Yes — every DANSK necklace 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.
Will my DNSK necklace tarnish or fade?
No. Silver necklaces are made from natural 316L stainless steel — the silver tone runs all the way through the metal to the core. Gold necklaces are finished with 18K ION plating, which bonds directly to the steel for a harder, more wear-resistant finish.
Are DANSK necklaces safe for sensitive skin?
Yes — all DANSK necklaces are nickel-free and hypoallergenic. The 316L stainless steel stays chemically stable against your skin through daily wear, water, and sweat.
What necklace lengths does DANSK Copenhagen offer?
Short necklaces that sit close to the collarbone, long necklaces for a more relaxed layered look, and adjustable necklaces that give you both. Classic panzer chains and charm necklaces are also available.
Can I layer DANSK necklaces?
Absolutely — combine short and long, gold and silver, chains and charms. The 316L steel holds its finish however you wear it.
