316L Stainless Steel — Designed for Water
Every DANSK Copenhagen waterproof necklace 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. DANSK Copenhagen necklaces 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 necklaces finished with ION plating, or silver necklaces where the tone runs all the way through the metal. Both waterproof. Both permanent.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are all DNSK necklaces waterproof?
Yes — every DNSK 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.
Can I wear my DNSK necklace 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 necklaces 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.
