316L Stainless Steel — ION Gold Plated for Lasting Colour
Every DNSK Copenhagen gold plated necklace is made from 316L stainless steel with 18K ION plating — a process that bonds gold directly onto the steel for a harder, more wear-resistant finish than standard gold plating. Your necklace stays brilliant through showers, sweat, and daily wear. Put it on. Leave it there.
Why ION Gold Outlasts Standard Gold Plating
Standard gold-plated necklaces place a thin layer of gold over a brass base. Brass tarnishes over time, which causes the gold finish to lift and fade. DNSK gold necklaces work differently — the 316L steel base cannot tarnish, so nothing works against the gold from underneath. The ION process locks the gold on with greater force. The result is a finish that holds its brilliance through real life.
