If you’ve been following us for a while, you know that at Koréil we focus on high quality stainless steel jewelry pieces, but what makes our jewelry waterproof?

Koréil jewelry is made with surgical grade 316L Stainless Steel as a base metal, which makes for shower-safe and waterproof jewelry pieces. Other metal jewelry such as brass, regular steel and alloys use an obscene amount of carbon in manufacturing. This practice is not only harmful for the environment, but due to the oxygen content it makes for a poor choice when wanting to wear your jewelry in water, as it becomes more prone to rusting.

Koréil pieces are designed with highest grade stainless steel used in jewelry making. As such, our jewelry contains an extremely insignificant volume of carbon, making it water-resistant and safe to wear in most types of water. That means it's okay if you find yourself wearing Koréil jewelry when showering, at the beach or going about your day!

Wearing your Koréil jewelry in the ocean 🏝 🌊

Stainless steel used in making of Koréil jewelry is more corrosion resistant than other popular types of the same metal. Koréil jewelry is high in chromium and as such, it is safe to wear in saltwater.

Although the composition of saltwater is much different from freshwater, your Koréil jewelry pieces will be safe if worn in saltwater for shorter periods of time.

However, to prolongate the lifetime of your jewelry, we would recommended to remove the pieces beforehand, and dry them after exposure to water.
