The Hidden Strength Behind Beholder Jewelry: 316L Stainless Steel Pins

Why Does Beholder Jewelry Use 316L Stainless Steel for Pins?

At Beholder Jewelry, we prioritize durability and precision in our threadless ends. To create the strongest bond between the setting and the pin, we use 316L stainless steel.

Stronger Than Gold Pins – Gold is soft and can bend over time, while 316L offers superior strength.
Better Bond Than Titanium Pins – Unlike titanium, which requires tack welding, 316L can be soldered or fused to gold and platinum, ensuring a more secure and lasting connection.
